Lightbulb Dig command output?
all,

i am newbie to dns bind . Any help is very appreciated.

I am using dig command to view the records in the config. I am expecting the following comamnds to display all the A (Address records) in the zone data file.
my zone data file looks like this
-------------------
$ORIGIN .
$TTL 86400 ; 1 day
example.com. IN SOA ns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. (
2008011801 ; serial
43200 ; refresh (12 hours)
900 ; retry (15 minutes)
1814400 ; expire (3 weeks)
10800 ; minimum (3 hours)
)

NS ns1.example.com.
NS hostmaster.example.com.
MX 10 mail.example.com.
ns1 IN A 10.2.125.68
hostmaster IN A 10.2.125.64
mail IN A 10.2.125.69


When i execute dig example.com , i get the following output, not all a records are displayed..why is that any idea?
Code:
; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> example.com
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 33402
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;example.com. IN A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
example.com. 73070 IN A 208.77.188.166

;; Query time: 0 msec
;; SERVER: 10.2.127.1#53(10.2.127.1)
;; WHEN: Fri Jan 18 14:40:15 2008

ldns-read-zone

ldns-read-zone(1)					      General Commands Manual						 ldns-read-zone(1)

NAME

       ldns-read-zone - read a zonefile and print it

SYNOPSIS

       ldns-read-zone ZONEFILE

DESCRIPTION

       ldns-read-zone reads a DNS zone file and prints it. The output has 1 resource record per line, and no pretty-printing makeup.

OPTIONS

       -c     Canonicalize all resource records in the zone before printing

       -d     Only  print  DNSSEC  data from the zone. This option skips every record that is not of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or DNSKEY. DS records
	      are not printed.

       -h     Show usage and exit

       -n     Do not print the SOA record

       -s     Strip DNSSEC data from the zone. This option skips every record that is of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG or DNSKEY. DS records	are  still
	      printed.

       -S [[+|0]number | YYYYMMDDxx | unixtime ]
	      Set  serial  number  to  the  given number, or when preceded by a sign, offset the exisiting number with it. When giving the literal
	      strings YYYYMMDDxx or unixtime, the serial number is tried to be reset in datecounter or in unixtime format respectively. Though	is
	      the updated serial number is smaller than the original one, the original one is simply increased by one.

	      When updating a serial number, records of type NSEC, NSEC3, RRSIG and DNSKEY will be skipped when printing the zone.

       -v     Show the version and exit

       -z     Sort the zone before printing (this implies -c)
