Vern Paxson commented on BIT-1156:
----------------------------------

Does "payload of DNS TXT records" mean that an individual TXT record can 
consist of multiple character strings?  If so, and if the order is 
significant/preserved, then set[string] wouldn't be the right type.

If instead this is referring to multiple TXT RRs, then likely set[string] is 
okay (but worth double-checking the RFC regarding the semantics for that case).

> The payload of DNS TXT records can consist of multiple character strings but 
> the DNS analyzer parses out only the first. We should parse them out all and 
> then probably concatenate into a single string to pass to the event, 
> separated with semicolons or something.
> I have a trace with an example but it would need anonymization before 
> inclusion into the test suite.
