AFAIK, BIND does not currently do this. That said, MarkA has a patch

Correction - BIND *does* do this, but only for address records that are
already in the cache. If the AAAA for the target is in the cache, but
the A record isn't, that's all you'll get.
that's all we need. it's all we do for MX and NS additional data, too.
Mark's patch forces BIND to pre-fill the cache with the A and AAAA
records for the SRV target before replying.
that would be a mistake. we are hitting for average here not power --
the behaviour to optimize for is whatever's most common. if the SRV is
used, the AAAA or A RRsets will be fetched, and thus cached. if the SRV
is only used once, that caching effort will be wasted. if the SRV is
used many times, then the dominant use case will be that the additional
data is found in cache because the client caused this to be so.
