Good morning and thank you so much! Now I understand. My servers are not pure authoritative, so I’ll have to keep the recursion enabled.
As for the answers in Authority and Additional sections, after setting minimal-responses to no, now I get the usual output when querying. For what I understand, there is no downside in maintaining this setting, right? Thank you! Kind regards.

"recursion yes;" tells named that it can (if it has to) make queries to other places if it needs more information in order to answer a client query. Pure authoritative servers shouldn't need it and should have "recursion no;". So the first question is, do your servers make queries out to other places? If so, recursion must be enabled. Secondly, do you have "minimal-responses" configured on either/both servers? If so, what is it set to? There were changes in 9.16 so maybe these explain your observations.

I hope someone could help to understand the following. I have “my.domain.pt <http://my.domain.pt> ” and a master and slave server for the “my” part. I have been using “recursion yes” in both named.conf, as I want them to be both authoritative and cache for my clients. Last week I migrated my slave DNS server to version 9.16 and only today, after having issues with the primary server migration, I realized that for most queries, my slave DNS does not answer the “ADDITIONAL SECTION” unless I specify “+norec” with the dig command. My named.conf files only differ in IPs and “master/slave” setting. My questions: Should I use recursion on both? (Bear in mind that I also want them to provide chache to clients) Why do I need “dig +norec” to get the exact output on my slave server?
