the target host has only A records, it automatically falls back to an AF_INET lookup and gives you the A results. However, if the target host has a CNAME record, this behaviour is defeated since the original query does return some data even though ares_parse_aaa_reply() doesn't consider it relevant. Here's a small patch to make it behave the same with and without the CNAME.
