[Pdns-users] ZoneTransfers

[Nicholas Williams]

Jeff,

I wondered about this at first, too. Then I discovered dig always 
displays an SOA record at the top and at the bottom when you perform a 
zone transfer. You can demonstrate this by querying against a 
non-PowerDNS (BIND) server:

$ dig @dns1.nicholaswilliams.net nicholaswilliams.net AXFR

You'll see you also get SOA records at top and bottom. This is 
completely normal behavior. :)
