The relevant spec is RFC 3655 section 2, which doesn't say what to do if the response is truncated. A reasonable implementation strategy is to build a complete response, then truncate it if required. (This is not as wasteful as it sounds because an authoritative server might have pre-compiled all possible responses.) It's plausible not to have a special case to clear AD after truncation if the response ends up empty, and it's allowed because every record is authenticated (there just happen to be zero records). https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3655#section-2 Tony. -- f.anthony.n.finch <[email protected]> http://dotat.at/ Southeast Iceland: Cyclonic 4 or 5, becoming southeasterly 6 to gale 8, veering southwesterly 7 to severe gale 9, perhaps storm 10 later.
