How would that work? We are designing -add -show -mod commands for mutlivalued LDAP attribute values, we should have some reference what value we are modifying. Or did you mean the following command sequence for mod operation? dnsrecord-del example.com @ --mx-rec="0 mx1.example.com.", "1 mx2.example.com." dnsrecord-mx-add example.com @ --priority=0 --mailserver=mx1.example.com. dnsrecord-mx-add example.com @ --priority=1 --mailserver=mx2.example.com.
