It's not clear to me how querying ANY is supposed to work, especially
when related to caching.  When I first did ANY against our local
caching DNS server for research.cs.berkeley.edu, I got only the AFSDB
record (maybe because I queried the AFSDB entry before).  When I
specifically queried the A record, I got the A record.  When I then
queried ANY again, I got both the AFSDB and the A record.  I haven't
been able to convince myself that their DNS is wrong, but it could be
something related to that.
