Maybe it's just me, but isn't there something odd about a DNS query coming back with 78 entries for the same host? It sends back an UDP packet that gets truncated and the DNS resolver reverts to TCP to get the full list. It seems to cause problems with Windows clients and/or Windows DNS servers. Seems like overkill. Here is a dig on www.neopets.com: ;; Truncated, retrying in TCP mode. ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> www.neopets.com @ns2.neopets.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 34814 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 78, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.neopets.com.
