I'd written a patch and given it to someone at ISC that makes dig
output a warning message if you hand it both the "+trace" and
"@server" options. Dunno what happened, but never got integrated...

My apologies for not sending feedback directly. (That's something
we really need to work on.) IIRC, we opted to clarify the documentation
rather than add a warning to dig itself.  There's also a knowledge base
article on this topic at http://tinyurl.com/o37rpgm.

Given that the number of people using the tool vastly exceeds the number who read the docs, multiplied by the number of times this comes up on bind-users (where this discussion should have happened in the first place), IMO also putting the warning in the tool makes more sense.

FWIW,

Doug
