Yes, indeed.  (Although I think the "invalid" terminology is rather
unfriendly.)

Thanks for your report anyway, which I am closing with this email.

Regards,

Looks like adns does not recognize certain hostnames as valid. Example:

Works with dig:

> $ dig +short -t txt mx._domainkey.twingly.com
> "k=rsa\; p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDauFgv2L1AS+ZvdeHC4NaItVgJ4JEc9UFlGKFKBl3wxIk5THKEa2T3WlQM6lJFMK0pqS5Cs63lELqZzJTGmgUEmpY17/HHFzEPM3682Wc2mzfZsYlsWTXbk77rHKt7Ndox/X
> 2Vq8EYv4r432glm4laaXcTv4P3XFcZv/OwDVCFDQIDAQAB"

Does not with adns:

> $ adnshost -t txt mx._domainkey.twingly.com
> Error during DNS TXT lookup for mx._domainkey.twingly.com: Domain name is syntactically invalid

Same type of query, but another hostname, works:

> $ adnshost -t txt twingly.com
> twingly.com TXT "v=spf1 ip4:80.252.185.200 ip4:80.252.171.64/27 include:_spf.google.com include:mailgun.org include:spf.mandrillapp.com include:in.deliverhq.com ~all"
> twingly.com TXT "google-site-verification=eKph1PVX-uNAeg6W_Qj_zM75HXz-fV9T-09yuTp7Nqw"

Using:

> $ adnshost --version
> adnshost (GNU adns) 1.5.0
