* Anton Zimm:
I did see the info from additional section, but: Afaik the additional section is not an answer, they're just additional info, not an authorized answer from the queried name server. I'm expecting to get a reply for my 'A' query in the 'answer section'.
The MOBI. servers are not authoritative for PUSH.MOBI., so returning data from PUSH.MOBI. in the answer section would be wrong. (ATLAS does this, but this doesn't make it right.)
Now, from the 'authority section' dig is telling me that I can get the authorize answer from ns1.push.mobi. But isn't that circular dependency?
That's why the address is in the additional section. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer () bfk de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
