[Pdns-users] Return Authority section

[Jesse Angell]

I¹m migrating from bind and one thing that I noticed is that bind returns
the NS records and the A records for those NS records with every query.  I
noticed that PowerDNS does not do this and I¹m trying to figure out if this
will be a problem at all.  I assume that returning all that information
really isn¹t necessary..
Example:

BIND----
[root at dimsarkeia migrate]# dig @localhost mail.stllc.org IN A

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> @localhost mail.stllc.org IN A
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 50272
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;mail.stllc.org.                        IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
mail.stllc.org.         14400   IN      A       70.62.222.2

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
stllc.org.              14400   IN      NS      ns1.digitalims.net.
stllc.org.              14400   IN      NS      ns2.digitalims.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.digitalims.net.     600     IN      A       216.58.226.164
ns2.digitalims.net.     600     IN      A       65.221.143.5

PowerDNS-----
[root at ns1 ~]# dig @localhost mail.stllc.org IN A

; <<>> DiG 9.3.4-P1 <<>> @localhost mail.stllc.org IN A
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 61997
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;mail.stllc.org.                        IN      A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
mail.stllc.org.         14400   IN      A       70.62.222.2

;; Query time: 0 msec

;; WHEN: Mon Jun 29 13:35:14 2009
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 48

Can PowerDNS be configured to return the data like BIND does?  Is this
something I should be concerned with?
