Hi all,
The authoritative name servers for trafficmanager.net respond
differently depending on whether the query is made over IPv4 or IPv6.
When queried over IPv4, I consistently receive the correct CNAME
pointing to main.dl.ms.akadns.net.
However, when queried over IPv6, the response is always "No Data."
I have tested all authoritative name servers for trafficmanager.net, and
the results are consistent across the board.
If someone from Microsoft is on the list, maybe you can forward this.
Analysis:
trafficmanager.net. 86400 IN NS tm1.dns-tm.com.
trafficmanager.net. 86400 IN NS tm2.dns-tm.com.
trafficmanager.net. 86400 IN NS tm1.edgedns-tm.info.
trafficmanager.net. 86400 IN NS tm2.edgedns-tm.info.
