[Pdns-users] correct, but incomplete reply

[Marten Lehmann]

Hello,

from BIND I'm used to see some more records than requested:

$ dig test.com @bind

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> test.com @ns1.test.vcom
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 5542
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;test.com.                                IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:

test.com.                 86400   IN      NS      ns2.test.com.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:

With PowerDNS, I only get the records I requested:

$ dig cnm.de @powerdns

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> cnm.de @81.28.224.5
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 17802
;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;test.com.                                IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
test.com.                 86400   IN      A       1.2.3.4

;; Query time: 3 msec

;; WHEN: Tue Jan 15 20:30:03 2008

Generally, this is correct. But on the other hand for debugging it 
requires more requests and is less comfortable.

Is there an option for powerdns to enable BIND like replies?
