Hi Daniel,
Moin Ralf,

Ralf, I also used kdig because of it's TLS support!
And Daniel, you are right, it's a philosophical question!

I came from dig and I was puzzled due to different behavior and it took me some time to figure out the differences. If something is called that similar (kdig vs. dig) maybe users expect same behavior? Maybe you could ship a .kdigrc file, if that is supported by kdig, which mimics dig and describe the differences in the man pages?

Cheers,
-arsen

Hi Ralf,

You are correct. This is rather a philosophical question :-) So far we haven't 
decided on the main purpose of kdig.
For me kdig is a generic tool for advanced DNS testing. It means the defaults 
are simple (e.g. no EDNS, DNS cookies).
The opposite approach is to consider kdig as a tool which knows best how the 
query should look like ;-)

Anyway, we are open to change the defaults if it makes sense. So, what do our 
dear users think?

Best,
Daniel

Hi,

I'm not sure if it was already discussed on this list.
Why is BIND's dig getting a AD flag and kdig not?
Binds dig is using EDNS0 and other unnecessary stuff like cookies per default, 
while kdig per default emulates and old style DNS client without bells and 
whistles, and thus does not get AD, as this was only defined with DNSSEC 
(RFC2535/3655/4035). Having EDNS0 support even without setting DO is considered 
to be able to interpret the AD bit, while clients without EDNS0 are considered 
not to be able to interpret it and thus don’t get it.

So long
