I want to return NXDOMAIN *because there is no record of that type at that node*.
That was the underlying point here; I thought that was pretty clear.
But that's not what NXDOMAIN means. :) You get an NXDOMAIN response when there is no label at that point in the tree, period. In the case you specify you get the combination of NOANSWER + NOERROR if there is no address record, but there are other records (like there are at a zone apex).
D'oh. Yes; I overspecified. Damn.
hth,
It did; thanks. Well, except for John, but he thinks I'm an idiot dilettante anyway. :-) Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
