This problem can be circumvented by querying the +authoritative nameserver directly (with the @ argument). + +Of course the nameserver that is used must be DNSSEC-aware. + +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB-4\fR +Use only IPv4. + +.TP +\fB-6\fR +Use only IPv6. + +.TP +\fB-f\fR +Do a 'full' zone walk; by default, ldns-walk will only show the names, and types present at those names.
