While it's likely the response will include add'l info with all the IPs 
of the A record set, it's possible that the initial response won't; the 
add'l info is optional, and some DNS servers may not send it. Couldn't 
the domain name even be in a different domain from the EHLO's domain, 
one for which the server isn't authoritative?

   That's a nit, all right...

   I'd be willing to add "If there are any"; but I don't want to go into
a full description of the algorithm.

   (IMHO, "isn't among them" can't be satisfied by the empty set, so I
don't feel there's any actual inaccuracy with the current text.)
