[Pdns-users] SOA record is coming in answer section

[Aki Tuomi]

But there is a reason why it's sometimes in either one, there is no sense
in trying to fix this for consistency.

SOA record goes in ANSWER section, when you ask for SOA record (or ANY).

SOA record goes in AUTHORITY section, when a record is not found in the zone.
