如果BIND的zone里有a.com和b.com两个域，BIND是a.com的权威服务器，但不是b.com的。用户设置www.a.com这个记录CNAME到www.b.com。在客户端查询www.a.com时，BIND会返回www.a.com和www.b.com的权威应答，显然www.b.com是DNS挟持。那么客户端如何应对？

这个问题我在BIND邮件列表里询问如下：

If BIND is authoritative for zone a, and is not authoritative for zone b, but zone b is configured in BIND’s zone file, and x.zonea.com is CNAME’d to y.zoneb.com.

When DNS client queries to this BIND for x.zonea.com, it gets the authoritative answers for both x.zonea.com and y.zoneb.com, certainly y.zoneb.com is a fake one.

How DNS client handle this case?

来自ISC的Mark回答如下：

It depends on the client and whether the zones are signed or not
and whether the client is validating responses or not.

Stub clients will almost always trust the complete answer.
For iterative clients it depends on their level of paranoia.

named is paranoid. It discards the rest of the response after processing
the CNAME.

如果客户端解析器是BIND，它在处理CNAME时，简单的丢弃掉CNAME值的剩余部分，重新解析CNAME的目的值，从而避免上述问题。
