Hi folks,

I've stumbled over the MS DNS server not quite following the behavior
described in RFC 1035 with regards to the number of questions it will
allow in the question section.

RFC 1035 states:

4.1.2. Question section format

The question section is used to carry the "question" in most queries,
i.e., the parameters that define what is being asked.  The section
contains QDCOUNT (usually 1) entries, each of the following format [...]


However, the Microsoft DNS server seems to give back a FORMERROR error
code if I specify more than one question. Can I get clarification on
where this behavior is documented?

Cheers,
Kai
