other than APL/RFC 3123?

Peter,

Thank you for the reference. This RFC would need to be elevated to
standards track and be one of the types supported.  This would mean only
2 new record types need definition.  An Inverse SRV record pointing to
3123 address records with a policy field and a protocol selector
function.  With this, a PTR type using the same selector function as a
domain bridging mechanism.  If this can happen, add in an SRV record
also using the selector function to reinforce this feature.
