The ANY query works around a BIND bug that was fixed 15 years ago
(really, in about 1998) so I encourage everyone to use this patch to
http://www.memoryhole.net/qmail/any-to-cname.patch R's, John
[cross-posted from djbdns list]

Not to contradict DJB, but it does look like all the ANY query does it
try to see if there is a CNAME for the canonicalized host. So doing an
actual CNAME does sound more appropriate. Am I missing anything?
