Should we use TXT as a stopgap while the new RR isn't deployed?
I think so. The purist in my wants a new type, but the realist says
the spam problem can't wait the time it takes for a new type to
appear in DNS.
That's the question I'd like to see answered; do you guys have any
difficulties with that? It would mean extra traffic for DNS servers who
don't support the new RR. On the receiving-MTA side, I don't see any
problem with a second query; if I'm wrong, please correct me.
I don't see anything wrong with parallel queries. BIND (not DNS)
does that now for A and AAAA records when getting addresses for name
servers, as well as SSH. Transitions do work, e.g., ip6.int to
ip6.arpa is happening.
