At the risk of nitpicking your use of the term "supposed to be"...
"ANY" queries (aka QTYPE=*), have pretty much been reduced to a mere
debugging tool, because of the standards-community's failure to deal
with certain caching complications. But I believe the QTYPE was
_originally_ intended to be a robust mechanism for fetching multiple
RRsets at a time.It just didn't work out that way...
