Hello,
When I delegate a subdomain in a zone example.com, the config in
named.conf is like:
test.example.com. 3600 IN NS ns1.another.com.
test.example.com. 3600 IN NS ns2.another.com.
Then I dig to the auth-server of the example zone:
dig test.example.com ns @ns1.example.com
I found some servers return the ANSWER SECTION, but some servers
return the AUTHORITY SECTION.
For example:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
test.example.com. 3600 IN NS ns2.another.com.
test.example.com. 3600 IN NS ns1.another.com.
And:
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
test.example.com. 3600 IN NS ns2.another.com.
test.example.com. 3600 IN NS ns1.another.com.
I'm confused, shall name server answer with ANSWER or AUTHORITY for this case?
Thanks in advance.
