Thanks to both of you for your replies, +trace did show me the name servers for the domain and which answered, I would still need to query the other name servers but that's OK. I wasn't aware that the standard DNS reply would show all A records for a domain - that's good to know, I wish I had a DNS round robin configuration to test against (we don't use it internally). Fortunately I don't have to worry about different IP addresses based on location and my "context" doesn't involve CDNs so I can avoid that issue. ________________________________ From: bind-users <bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org> on behalf of Matus UHLAR - fantomas <uh...@fantomas.sk> Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2020 1:34 PM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org <bind-users@lists.isc.org> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: Getting all IP adresses for a domain name

However, current CDNs tend to send different IPs for different clients, often just the one that is tropologically closest to the client. Unfortunately, such CDNs don't provide all possible addresses so I guess you are unlucky here. -- Matus UHLAR - fantomas, uh...@fantomas.sk ; https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http%3a%2f%2fwww.fantomas.sk%2f&c=E,1,ZWC6GZyMtjHtMy2-T3ri182cQqZHtLQGM2tlkQO-yTfTAmsYFEZHtFhRjArPKCOQSHvN_Mb7MeN2gJ71jYKgYa0L82YX2MaJ3ebpnuB6YYPojoqxmlLoUWgL&typo=1 Warning: I wish NOT to receive e-mail advertising to this address.
