DNS issues

When doing a SRV query with dig I get the expected results for a service registered with consul, e.g.:

$ dig elasticsearch.service.consul SRV

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.2-Ubuntu <<>> elasticsearch.service.consul SRV
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4673
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 1

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;elasticsearch.service.consul.  IN  SRV

;; ANSWER SECTION:
elasticsearch.service.consul. 0 IN  SRV 1 1 9200 ant-005.node.ecs-dev.consul.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ant-005.node.ecs-dev.consul. 0  IN  A   10.50.80.36

;; Query time: 5 msec

;; WHEN: Sun Jun 14 11:28:42 PDT 2015
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 164

Note the IP address of 10.50.80.36. If I do the same query without SRV I always get the IP address of the current consul master (10.50.80.217) answering the DNS query, e.g.:

$ dig elasticsearch.service.consul

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.2-Ubuntu <<>> elasticsearch.service.consul
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 37955
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;elasticsearch.service.consul.  IN  A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
elasticsearch.service.consul. 0 IN  A   10.50.80.217

;; Query time: 2 msec

;; WHEN: Sun Jun 14 11:28:52 PDT 2015
;; MSG SIZE  rcvd: 62

And by the way, I also get the IP address of the consul master for all non-registered services as well:

$ dig i-do-not-exist.service.consul

; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3ubuntu0.2-Ubuntu <<>> i-do-not-exist.service.consul
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 18972
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;i-do-not-exist.service.consul. IN  A

;; ANSWER SECTION:
i-do-not-exist.service.consul. 0 IN A   10.50.80.217

;; Query time: 2 msec

Is that a known issue or a mis-configuration somewhere? This happens inside of PanteraS using consul 0.5.2, if that matters...

OK, closing this here, since it seems to be a PanteraS issue (or feature): eBayClassifiedsGroup/PanteraS#57 (comment)
