BIND 9.12.3-P1: No additional section

[Tom]

Authoritative servers:

A direct query to a BIND-9.12.3-P1 authoritative server for "mydomain.net":

$ dig +norec -4 @ns3.example.com www.mydomain.net

; <<>> DiG 9.11.3-1ubuntu1.3-Ubuntu <<>> +norec -4 @ns3.example.com 
www.mydomain.net

The same direct query here to a BIND-9.11.x authoritative server (also a 
slave like the BIND-9.12.3-P1) for "mydomain.net":

$ dig +norec -4 @ns1.example.com www.mydomain.net

In both authoritative configurations I've set "minimal-responses no;", 
but on 9.12.3-P1, no additional section comes back.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Tom
