The client must supply the logic. DNS is conceptually a simple database service
— ask a question, get an answer. The logic of using NAPTR records, SRV records,
A records, AAAA records, and CNAME records is mostly handled by the client.
(CNAME and DNAME records are the primary exception, triggering extra processing
on the recursive name server.)
