This is the correct answer; "some do, some don't". It's perfectly possible
to have the domain and www.domain A records point to different places, or
to have them point to the same place.
HOWEVER: It's the _client_ who is requesting this. They want both domains
to go to the same web site. If you're not using the domain A record for
anything else, then just do it. If you're using the A record for other
reasons then perhaps put up a redirect or explain to the client the
consequences of changing the A record.
Basically, with no good reason not to, don't argue with the client :-)
Only argue if you have a good reason!
