Hi all. I have an odd issue - a particular device is apparently ignoring apparently legal DNS responses. The only differences I can see between the responses that do work and the responses that don't work are that in the responses that don't work:
a) the case of the response has been folded to lower case b) the response includes an additional servers section Here are two samples. The first fails, and was obtained by querying a MikroTik embedded caching server. The second works, and was obtained by querying a BIND caching server. If we tell the device to query the embedded server, it ignores the responses; if we tell the device to query the BIND server, it works. I guess I just want to know if the embedded server is doing anything wrong in folding the case down, or if the other device is doing something wrong by not accepting the folded response.
