Could someone with Copious Free Time (probably meaning someone not

MARID type record using existing but relatively up to date DNS server

along the way.  For purposes of this experiment, allocate yourself a
new RRtype preferably in the experimental space.  Getting to the point
where a dig returns an SPF record but with rrtype=MARID would be a
win.


Patrik's original post included a pointer to such an experiment: http://www.rfc.se/interop3597/

Based on the zone file (http://www.rfc.se/interop3597/interop3597.rfc.se), the following is possible with dig:

anewton$ dig TYPE731 type731.interop3597.rfc.se
