	The server sends data in the additional section if either
	(a) these data are required, or (b) the server supports
	and is configured to send data which, although not actually 
	required, may somehow be “useful”.

	The BIND named configuration option “minimal-responses”
	controls case (b). If this is set to “no”, and the server
	isn’t sending data in the additional section, it’s because
	it doesn’t have anything useful to put there.

	As this option is part of the server configuration, there 
	isn’t anything you can do with DiG to enable sending of
	additional data.

	I hope this helps.
