In the last episode (Mar 21), Rahul Siddharthan said: > The host command here is returning only the ip address if it > exists (if not, nothing), it doesn't return mx records. I think one of the bind updates changed the default behaviour of the "host" command. Aha. I found the problem, probably a bug: /usr/src/contrib/bind/bin/host/host.c line 273: if (gettype == 0) { if (verbose) printf ("Forcing -t a' for signature trace.\n"); gettype = ns_t_a; } So the default for "host" is now "host -t a". I would suggest changing it to read if (gettype == 0 && sigchase == 1) { , so it only forces "-t a" if you actually want signature tracing, which is undocumented anyway :) I'll file a PR on this. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
