While we're picking nits, it's not clear what the intended quoting is. Here, for exampme: ["DUJ", [["add", "mail.yourname.example", "TXT", "v=spf1 a:mail.yourname.example ip4:192.0.2.49"]] When that last text string is copied into the zone file, you'd want to put quotes areound it but here: ["DUJ", [["add", "yourname.example", "TYPE4321", "\# 4 0A000001"]] IF you put quotes around it, you'll get the wrong answer. I can see various ways to fix this. Either put the quotes in explicitly, e.g. ["DUJ", [["add", "mail.yourname.example", "TXT", "\"v=spf1 a:mail.yourname.example ip4:192.0.2.49\""]] or say that a string is a string, and it should quote as needed when copying into the zone file: ["DUJ", [["add", "yourname.example", "TYPE4321", "\\#", "4". "0A000001"]] R's, John _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- dnsop@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to dnsop-le...@ietf.org
