Thank you for everyone who chimed in so far on this topic. This feature is on our radar, or short-list if you will (and I'm sure it'll appear on the public roadmap shortly ;-) Paraphrasing what we have as description / todo internally for the actual feature (Jared: bingo!): "[once implemented] simple DNS measurements can happen just like they do today: I can select a DNS query type by mnemonic. The new feature is about advanced DNS measurements: users should be able to specify a DNS type ID (numerical value, 0-65K) which is checked against a whitelist" We plan to have a whitelist [of query IDs], both because the probes just don't fully support all types, and some users expressed that they would not like us to support all query types; for example axfr/ixfr are complicated examples.
