Right.  And yes, I expect CERT or OPENPGPKEY records to becode important
soon.  PTR lookups are probably also required.

That would be an option.  The full resolver functionality is required
for the pools.  But for a single server we can change the code to skip
all the pool stuff.

In fact, all DNS servers need to support TCP for longer results.
However I do not want to write my own resolver (or well, for Windows we
are already use my forked ADNS).  I need to look at the state of things
first.
