[Dnsmasq-discuss] CNAME vs missing AAAA record

Hi folks,

if I run dig to query an AAAA record via dnsmasq, then 
sometimes I get the CNAME only. Sample:

bash-4.4# dig @10.100.0.2 developer.apple.com AAAA +short
developer-cdn.apple.com.akadns.net.
world-gen.g.aaplimg.com.

This is misleading, because both don't have an AAAA record.
I didn't ask for the CNAME, anyway. Shouldn't it just shut 
up in this case?


Every helpful comment is highly appreciated
Harri
