How can I list all IPs when Consul Cluster DNS is queried?

Question

I have a 5 node Consul Cluster. When I run the DNS command below, it lists only three IPs at a time randomly. How can I have all 5 IPs listed at the same time (randomly) as opposed to three at a time?

dig @ 127.0.0.1 -p 8600 service_name.service.consul

https://www.consul.io/docs/agent/options.html

under dns_config, set enable_truncate to true

That should do it but I don't have a consul server at home to test on.

So in the config.json file, add the following: { "dns_config": [ { "enable_truncate": true } ] } – The Georgia Oct 01 '15 at 05:44
Though this works, its kind of weird using "enable_truncate" after reading its definition. Is this the only way really? – The Georgia Oct 01 '15 at 09:01
The only one I could find. – Wayne Walker Oct 03 '15 at 01:34
