DNS lookup clarification please

Greetings, 

I understand that a series of requests must be made to 
the DNS servers to read the records sequentially until 
records with v=spf1 are read.  

Does that mean that a DNS inquiry cannot request the 
next record that matches a specified string?  

But, if that could be done -- have the DNS server read 
the records until the matching string was found (or the 
end of the records for that domain) -- each inquiry 
would return always return an SPF record wouldn't it?  

It wouldn't cause any increase in disk I/O load at the 
DNS server either.
