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.
