OK, _spf as TXT seems to work on my system (now?). I have:

phase.org.      IN A            212.13.198.241
_spf            IN      TXT     "v=spf1 ?all"             <--- line 23
_spf            IN      A     212.13.198.241              <--- line 24
sentinel3               IN A            62.3.233.198
heifong         IN A            212.13.198.241

and bind is restarted

I then get:

heifong:/# named -v
named 8.4.3-NOESW Mon Dec  8 21:07:09 MST 2003 
lamont(_at_)mix(_dot_)mmjgroup(_dot_)com:/usr/local/src/Packages/bind/bind-8.4.3/src/bin/named
heifong:/# host -t txt _spf.phase.org
_spf.phase.org          TXT     "v=spf1 ?all"
heifong:/# host -t a _spf.phase.org
_spf.phase.org has no A record (Authoritative answer)

(I don't have dig on that machine, FWIW)

So _spf as A doesn't seem to work; and I'm sure I've seen it used in 
exists: macros (in fact the perl module test.txt might contain this)

/var/log named gives me:

14-Jan-2004 10:14:08.608 owner name "_spf.phase.org" IN (primary) is 
invalid - rejecting
14-Jan-2004 10:14:08.608 /etc/bind/db.phase.org:24: owner name error
14-Jan-2004 10:14:08.608 /etc/bind/db.phase.org:24: Database error near (A)
14-Jan-2004 10:14:08.609 master zone "phase.org" (IN) rejected due to 
errors (serial 2004011404)

I also know that PHP4.x refuses to do DNS lookups on domains with _ but 
then its DNS support is terrible anyway.


Perhaps 8.4.X changed things, or the resolver code for your OS
doesn't like underscores.  I dunno.

There appears to be zero interest in using _spf anyway.
