Issue Details
For a domain that has both a CNAME
and a TXT
record with identical names e.g.:
foo.eggmaps.com. 300 IN TXT "bar"
foo.eggmaps.com. 64 IN CNAME www.example.com.
AdGuard DNS incorrectly returns the CNAME
data even when the query type is TXT
:

Other DNS services return the correct answer for the query's record type. E.g. with cloudflare:
; <<>> DiG 9.10.6 <<>> +nsid TXT foo.eggmaps.com @1.1.1.1
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 7259

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;foo.eggmaps.com. IN TXT
;; ANSWER SECTION:
foo.eggmaps.com. 300 IN TXT "bar"

Google, Cloudflare and OpenDNS all behave properly.
Expected Behavior
I expected the AdGuard DNS server to return the TXT record when requested, and the CNAME record when requested.
Actual Behavior
AdGuard DNS server returns the CNAME record and doesn't return the TXT record, even when the TXT resource record type is specified.
