I certainly don't think it's stupid. >There are 3 possible outcomes when a DNS querier gets an aswer like this >#1 It accepts everything from authority section >#2 It tosses the non queried RRset >#3 it Rejects the answer and tries again #4 it ignores the answer and doesn't try again #5 it misinterprets the AAAA records as A records (they're not CNAME, what else could they be?) #6 it dereferences an uninitialized pointer and gets random junk sometimes, crashes other times I don't think any of those are particularly likely, but I've never sent answers with extra records other than CNAME, DNAME, and (when DO is set) DNSSEC stuff. So I think we agree that reports of what current code really does would be helpful.
