The "host <hostname>" command performs three lookups: A record, AAAA
record, and MX record.
So it looks like your server returns a response when looking up the A
record, but an NXDOMAIN error when looking up the AAAA or MX records.
This is incorrect behavior: NXDOMAIN means the name doesn't exist at
all, not that it doesn't have a record of the requested type.
