nslookup of type=any

[Paul Stoecker]

Folks,

I have notice something that seems a bit odd.

If I do an nslookup from a remote server and set type=any, I don't get
back my MX records for my domain.

For example:

>server ns1.panasonic.com
>set type=any
>pti.panasonic.com
Server:  ns1.panasonic.com
Address:  140.212.204.25

Non-authoritative answer:
pti.panasonic.com       nameserver = oak.research.panasonic.com
pti.panasonic.com       nameserver = elm.research.panasonic.com
pti.panasonic.com       internet address = 150.169.1.4

Authoritative answers can be found from:
pti.panasonic.com       nameserver = oak.research.panasonic.com
pti.panasonic.com       nameserver = elm.research.panasonic.com
oak.research.panasonic.com      internet address = 150.169.1.4
elm.research.panasonic.com      internet address = 150.169.1.3

now if I set type=mx

I get the MX records.  Then set back to ANY and the MX records are
included in the response.  Is this normal?
