Is it possible to have a TXT format tuple > appearing at the additional section? I don't think there's anything expressly prohibiting it. But the additional section is only supposed to contain records that would be helpful when processing the records in the Answer section. For instance, if you ask for NS or MX records, you're likely to need the addresses of the targets of those records, so they should be included in the answer to save you from having to request them separately. DNS is supposed to be a lightweight protocol, so it's inappropriate to return more data than is really needed. -- Barry Margolin Arlington, MA _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
