I've seen a trace where the DNS resolver asks for "ANY" information from the name server. Any idea about the practical case for such request ? In which context does this happen ? asked 17 May '16, 12:48  thierryn |
One Answer:
It happens when someone wants to ask a DNS server for all available information to a domain in a single request. Most programs don't use it, but manual queries often do, because it gets results faster than querying each single type (A, AAAA, NS, MX,...) sequentially. answered 17 May '16, 12:50  Jasper ♦♦ |
