Wondering why we get variable results from the following command: dig eftc.thehartford.com
(sometimes we get authority section and additional section feedback ... sometimes we don't)
Usually we see the following:
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> eftc.thehartford.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 35955
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;eftc.thehartford.com. IN A

But occasionally we see :
; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2 <<>> eftc.thehartford.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer:

I assume this is due to differences in response from different auth nameservers. If that's the case ... what does one have set up to return the 2nd response?
Thanks!
