another thing I noticed this week, when requesting SRV records, DNSX does not appears to add the corresponding A record in the additionnal section of the dns response.

 

While it is not mandatory and probably not a big issue, it is "urged" by the RFC and standard behavior for a DNS server AFAIK.

 

Does that change if recursion is enabled/disabled? That sort of thing should only happen if recursion is enabled (And requested). It isn't enabled at the server by default IIRC.
