> I want to make a CNAME chain with ~160 elements. I made it, the last record is a TXT. When I'm doing a DNS query, the server gives me only 11 records in the response. There aren't repetitions among the elements of the chain. I use the pdns recursor as an authoritative server with one zone file. It's version is 3.3-3 on a Debian Wheezy. I also tried the +tcp option with the dig client but it didn't help.<br>

<br>
</div></div>PowerDNS limits the lengths of chains and other indirections. The limits do not follow directly from the DNS standards.<br>
<br>
Why do you want to do this?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
