Re: missing authority and additional sections using bind-sdb-9.6.1-13.P2 (FC12)

The additional section is missing because of the way that bind makes
cache lookups before it passes control to the dlz driver.  There have
been a few threads about domain subdelegation that explain why this
happens.

The authority section, well that's a good question, I just noticed
that mine is doing the same thing.  I'm running bind-9.5.1 with dlz.
If I do a lookup for type mx, txt, a, soa, it always has an authority
record, but if I do a lookup for type any, I get all the proper
answers back, but I don't get an authority answer.  But, I also get
the same symptoms from bind 9.2.4 (CentOS 4.7) and bind 9.3.4 (CentOS
5.3) servers that are not running dlz.  So if you're getting an
authority answer back from bind proper, it appears to be a new
behavior.  What version of bind without dlz is that query against?
