Right, we have that. It's called the RRtype. Many, many type codes are
available. Requiring the use of additional labels and not taking advantage
of the very nice DNS update prerequisite support because someone doesn't want
to support transparent addition of RRtypes is pathetic. We've had the
capacity to extend option codes in every DHCP server (as well as most
clients) in existence practically since day one, and that's a much more
complicated problem than handling new RRtypes.
