Some web searches turn evidence of implementations that split long text strings into chunks where even the non-final chunks are shorter than 255 bytes. :-( See for example: http://cr-yp-to.996295.n3.nabble.com/length-of-TXT-records-td15736.html I originally found a different one, but can't find it again, but perhaps one counter-example is enough. -- Viktor. _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list dns-operations@lists.dns-oarc.net https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations
