I think one of the bind updates changed the default behaviour of the
"host" command. Aha. I found the problem, probably a bug:
/usr/src/contrib/bind/bin/host/host.c line 273:
if (gettype == 0) {
if (verbose)
printf ("Forcing -t a' for signature trace.\n");
gettype = ns_t_a;
}
So the default for "host" is now "host -t a". I would suggest changing
it to read
if (gettype == 0 && sigchase == 1) {
, so it only forces "-t a" if you actually want signature tracing,
which is undocumented anyway :) I'll file a PR on this.
