So, for example:

(wayne(_at_)footbone) $ dig cname13.midwestcs.com a

...
On a MS Windows system this query returns inconsistent results. The first time I get the same at you. All the CNAMES and an IP in the answer section. On subsequent querys I get 8 CNAMES an no IP. My guess is that the first query returns the data exactly as received from the authoritative DNS-server, but the next returns data from the local resolver cache.

If I manually follow the cnames and query for cnames12, cname11 ... I start getting correct results whn I query for cname08 even when the result is cached.



Similarly:

(wayne(_at_)footbone) $ dig io-mehnle.midwestcs.com a

...
This query returns the same result as your query every time. But since there is only three items in the answer the resolver cache gets it right this time.
