I deliberately didn't mention that so as to avoid getting into specifics of one case when it clearly seems to be a more general issue. :-) > And apparently the glibc resolver assume this is ordering is in > effect.

I did not imply it had anything to do with Go, I merely sampled Go's stub resolver in my potted survey. It's actually the one that comes out best since it re-starts parsing the whole packet, as I stated. > It is also true that (stub)resolvers directly talk to SkyDNS, any > recursive queries are proxied through to a real recursor, but it will > authorative answer for the (single) domain is has configured. AIUI, forgetting SkyDNS exists, it's allowable for a stub resolver to be configured to talk to a server that can answer authoritatively for the CNAME and the A, thus some clarification may be needed.
