dns is by default designed for host to ip resolution<br />
it cannot resolve to TXT unless query set to TXT<br />
Also it cannot resolve TXT to domain name as far as I know unless u do major customization, in fact I don,t think it's possible

Can you provide some more detail on exactly what the Sophos people are looking for and, more importantly, why? That sounds like a very strange request, and I agree with Mahesh: a TXT record will only be returned if that specific query type is sent.

Hi,<br />
<br />
We have been having issues with a Sophos web appliance box and the support team there recommend we configure our local DNS servers to return a TXT record on the first lookup:<br />
<br />
dig +short txt _kerberos.example.co.uk<br />
Should return just &quot;example.co.uk&quot; &nbsp;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <br />
My knowledge in DNS is bit limited, so i wanted to know how i can configure our DNS servers to return the first lookup internally to example.co.uk and not dig +short txt _kerberos.example.co.uk?<br />
<br />
We run the DNS off a MS server 2012.

DNS First Lookup

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
