Since they are all part of the same RRset, it is not legal to return only a part of them. A RRset must be returned completely (or the TC bit set). BTW, did you test if typical resolvers (say, BIND) can handle as many nameservers? I doubt it, they probably have a fixed array to store the nameservers they try. _______________________________________________ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
