Querying regarding ADDITIONAL records in named

[Gaurav Kansal]

Dear Team,

 

While querying through dig utility, I am getting ADDITIONAL :3 in the Header
section while I am only getting 2 additional records.

 

 

C:\Users\Kansal>dig ns3.nkn.in AAAA @ns1.nkn.in

; <<>> DiG 9.10.1 <<>> ns3.nkn.in AAAA @ns1.nkn.in

;; global options: +cmd

;; Got answer:

nkn.in.                 300     IN      NS      ns3.nkn.in.
