There is absolutely no harm in presenting this bit as the AD-flag. Even when it
concerns a query, it's still the header of a DNS message and it is still
referred to as the AD-bit. In fact, it is quite confusing for DNS experts the
way it is implemented now.
I used Wireshark, because I suspected dig, version 9.9.1, setting the AD-bit in
queries and I wanted to verify that. It's quite confusing when wireshark
suggests that the AD-bit isn't set, while in fact it is. Took me a while to
figure out. A waste of time. It would have been far better (and a perfectly
valid thing to do) if Wireshark would simply have shown it.
I do agree that this bug is a duplicate of 2472, so sorry for that. But it does
seem to me that 2472 wasn't really resolved.
