Maybe we should consider just reusing existing PTR record since it has
no defined meaning and use for domains (only meaning is for IN-ADDR tree)?
And if we need something more advanced, I already wrote how NAPTR records
may possibly be used for similar purposes and they are kind of like more
enhanced and universal PTR.
I was adding this to employ an additional select mechanism to allow a
common record type to be used by more than one protocol while avoiding
the problem of special labels as related to wild cards. If such a
select field could be added to the inverse SRV record, then having the
same mechanism would be helpful for a PTR type of record. It may even
be helpful to add a new SRV record with this feature for the same
reasons. Okay, this makes 5 new record types.
