Hi Piet! This is PowerDNS. > 1) 'aa' bit + SERVFAIL. The 'aa' might not be right but if a nameserver cannot satisfy the question because the CNAME points to something that does not exist, it should give out a SERVFAIL. If I'm mistaken, please let me know! I can easily fix this. > 2) Reflexive CNAME. Mad incompetence of the operator :-) > 3) answer section given, despite the SERVFAIL Try it with BIND, it does (or did) the same thing, with the possible exception of the aa bit. This is not in any way bound to AAAA btw, the same would happen with 'A'.
