Hypothetically, if you're using one of those funky NoSQL-style backends where RRs are looked up in a key-value store directly from a (QNAME, QTYPE) tuple I can see how supporting QTYPE == ANY would be tricky. The fact that "ANY" exists can put some significant implementation constraints on your system :( Ray _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
