<div>Hi ,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have data as follows</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="http://a.rameshops5446.com">a.rameshops5446.com</a>. 86400 IN A 1.2.3.1<br><a href="http://a.rameshops5446.com">a.rameshops5446.com</a>. 86400 IN MX 10 <a href="http://a.rameshops5446.com">a.rameshops5446.com</a>.<br>
</div>
<div>I queried domain "<a href="http://a.rameshops5446.com">a.rameshops5446.com</a>" with type ANY against bind9.6 .</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Actual Result:</div>
<div>Bind is returning above two records in answer section and also returning A record in additional section as follows.</div>

<div>Here my doubt is A record already returned in answer section why the same A record is returning in additional section. I know if MX pointed record have any A/AAAA records will return in additional section. but in above case already the same A record returned in answer section. Is bind result correct? could you please clarify me.</div>
