- Better handling of timeout (instead of a static value,
start with five seconds and double it each retry)
- Warnings are printed if you receive a different RR type
than the one you asked for (for example when you ask for
an A record and receive a CNAME)
- Fixed problems when records received in the authority
field are shorter than the domain the nameserver is
authoritative for.
- When compiled without IPv6 support on an IPv6 capable
machine the machine tried to query the IPv6 translated
IPv5 address anyway.
- -C caches hosts which haven't answered too.
DNS server gets its information from, and follows the chain
of DNS servers back to the servers which know the data.
