Right. rrset-order defines the order in which multiple records of the same type are returned, which wasn't quite the question asked (number limit). In the 9.3.x release note mentions that this (rrset-order) is implemented, somewhere else there was a note that in the 8.x code this was implemented, and in the 9 (presumably 9.2.x code) this wasn't. I'm modestly interested in the use case, never having used the MS dns implementation (or Dan's either), and I expect I'll survive the sarcasm. Eric
