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.

Odd.  I see a _MAXALIASES 35 in <netdb.h>, but that's for
the gethostbyname() interface, and anyway 35 is more than
13, let alone 8.

So far I think Wayne and Stuart talk about different APIs,
Wayne is somewhere above the resolver, Stuart is inside of
it.  And your problem is again different.

Wayne's dig output matches my nslookup output.  Bye, Frank
