dig default question

[Xavier Nicollet]

Dig looks for A records by default (I am using bind 9.2.5 from debian).
Why is that ?

Example: 
$ dig metaboli.goa.com @ns1.bavoila.net
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 37158

People would tend to think this entry does not exist, where in fact, i
does:

$ dig -t any metaboli.goa.com @ns1.bavoila.net
;; ANSWER SECTION:
metaboli.goa.com.       43200   IN      CNAME   goa.metaboli.fr.
