Nice, with my old nslookup I have to use -q=any to get this:
sixxs.com text = "v=spf1 -all"
sixxs.com ??? unknown type 99 ???
With my dig command:
$ dig -t 99 sixxs.com
;; Warning, ignoring invalid type 99
; <<>> DiG 9.2.5 <<>> -t 99 sixxs.com
it then really did ignore "-t 99" and got the A record.
How... unfortunate. Better would be to abort the mission.
In the manual page:
"The -t option sets the query type to type. It can
be any valid query type which is supported in BIND9."
So, dig thinks type 99 isn't valid or isn't supported :)
Utility 'host' has a similar problem, it cannot fetch the
type 99 record.
