I made the mistake in the past of not supporting the unknown type, and regretted it. The nice thing about implementing unknown is that you can automatically add another RR later, even if you're not sure what it's supposed to look like. > plus the company I'm doing this for gets some strange requests from their > customers -- not always correct or logical. :-( We DNS geeks have seen every mistake in the book, and some of the worst ideas are still being developed. (In Dublin, I heard someone from the DKIM working group at last suggest that maybe using the TXT RRTYPE wasn't such a hot idea. I think it's now 5 years since the DNS folks pointed out that TXT was going to cause headaches later. Sigh.)
