Well, thanks for explaining this. I, too, was very confused by the
apparently "invalid" syntax of yahoo's own DK records. I figured I
was just missing something in the spec since I am *not* an expert on
DK.
I've not checked, but I'm guessing that the same issue hasn't shown up wrt SPF
records? Is that so, Wayne?
Well, it might be a good idea to determine when and why dig is
inserting these backslashes. I dunno about Andy, but while I'm not a
DNS expert, I probably know more about DNS than 99% of the sysadmins
out there (think: MSCEs). If it confused us, it probably will confuse
many others also.
Right. I think the best answer is to make sure that appropriate tools are
readily available to examine such records - certainly something that will be
necessary when they get their own RR.
In the meantime, it might make sense to highlight this potential for confusion
in the next specification.
Mark.
