@JaveleyQAQ this looks like multiple query, do you have dig example that returns both answer in single dig query?

I'm unable to retrieve multiple results in the case of Google; it seems that the A records are returned randomly. However, there are indeed multiple A records present.

@JaveleyQAQ in that case it's already working as expected.

echo www.sysgeek.cn | dnsx -resp

Indeed, while I may not be fully versed in the intricacies of DNS operations, it's worth noting that performing an online multi-node ping on a target domain name can yield multiple distinct A records, which might not be the case when using standard DNS lookup tools. For instance, you can observe this phenomenon on the ITDOG website, which offers comprehensive ping services across various regions and networks: https://www.itdog.cn/ping/outlook.live.com. @ehsandeep

How can a ping request will result in multiple A records?

How can a ping request will result in multiple A records?

This indicates that the domain name has multiple A records bound to it, but this situation is generally caused by a Content Delivery Network (CDN). When a domain name has multiple A records, it suggests that the domain is using a CDN for proxy services. Depending on the visitor's location, it will prioritize returning the cache that offers faster access speeds.

@JaveleyQAQ It seems like dnsx behaves as expected, as it returns all A records depending on the resolver providing the response. I guess what you are looking for is performing the request on all provided dns resolvers and aggregating the responses?
