BIND 8 did it both ways depending apon whether RD was set or not and whether we offered recursion. RD=0 or we didn't offer recursion then a delegation was returned. If recursion was desired and it was available then a answer was returned. This was a compromise due to using a single database for both the cache and authoritative data.
Nameserver, when iterating, don't set RA so referral were returned to them. Stub resolvers (which dig emulates by default) got answers. BIND 9 has code to detect referrals promoted to answer and treat them as referrals. -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
