Changing output of bind

[RZ]

Thx,

i feared that i got something wrong...

So let me redefine my question please (hope using the correct syntax):
i want named to return an additional 'answer' so that e.g. the output of

www                 IN   A	195.110.192.3

is always appended in dig output.

Any help appreciated,

RZ
