Public bug reported:

I am facing really strange issues with systemd-resolved.


Local cache of DNS replies seems to be unreliable.

For example, when a try to get ANY record for github.com, I get A, AAAA,
MX, CAA, TXT and NS records.

When the TTL of entries expires, the same request is this ignoring them.
The result is getting narrowed.


First try:

dig ANY github.com

And so on.


That's not the only bug that I have noticed. If I look for an non existing 
record, the response is cached. And any legit request is this ignored. See 
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11789 for more details.


Try to resolv github.com CNAME record dig CNAME github.com

This will return an empty result.

Then try to resolve github.com A record dig A github.com.

This will now return empty result unless you restart systemd-resolved or
wait for cache expiration.


systemd version the issue has been seen with
Installed: 237-3ubuntu10.13
Used distribution

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release: 18.04

Note: I am facing the same issues in ubuntu 16.04 with systemd 229-4ubuntu21.2.
