Hello, I'm a BIND novice and I'm trying to understand what causes my BIND9 resolver (bind97-9.7.0-10.P2) to return an error when queried for the A record of vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com:
Jun 22 11:14:47 res1 named[32210]: DNS format error from 94.245.124.49#53 resolving vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/A for client 10.16.32.4#50421: invalid response Jun 22 11:14:47 res1 named[32210]: error (FORMERR) resolving 'vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/A/IN': 94.245.124.49#53 Jun 22 11:14:47 res1 named[32210]: DNS format error from 131.107.125.65#53 resolving vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/A for client 10.16.32.4#50421: invalid response Jun 22 11:14:47 res1 named[32210]: error (FORMERR) resolving 'vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/A/IN': 131.107.125.65#53 Jun 22 11:14:47 res1 named[32210]: DNS format error from 207.46.55.10#53 resolving vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/A for client 10.16.32.4#50421: invalid response Jun 22 11:14:47 res1 named[32210]: error (FORMERR) resolving 'vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com/A/IN': 207.46.55.10#53 If I submit the same query to a Windows DNS, or one of the Google DNS, I do get a reply: [gpaggi@res1 ~]# dig A @8.8.8.8 vlasext.partners.extranet.microsoft.com +short 70.42.230.20 [gpaggi@res1 ~]# Is it related to the "AA bit strictness"[1] ? 94.245.124.49 is dns11.one.microsoft.com and does indeed reply without setting the AA bit. As far as know the 'strictness' was removed in P2, correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks!
