6.1.2.5 Misusing Configuration Info: RFC-1035 Section 6.1.2
Recursive name servers and full-service resolvers generally
have some configuration information containing hints about
the location of root or local name servers. An
implementation MUST NOT include any of these hints in a
response.
- DISCUSSION:
Many implementors have found it convenient to store
these hints as if they were cached data, but some
neglected to ensure that this "cached data" was not
included in responses. This has caused serious
problems in the Internet when the hints were obsolete
or incorrect.
