The two following MIGHT NOT be in the same zone:
foo.example. IN X RDATAX
_bar.foo.example. IN TXT RDATAY
Since prefixed names have never been used for anything other than
providing information about the unprefixed name, what conceivable
operational reason could there be to put a zone cut at the prefix?
This impresses me as one of those problems where the solution is
"don't do that."
R's,
John
