I like the approach of supporting arbitrary RR types, since it is a very
flexible, future oriented solution and it covers my original question also
:-)
After some investigation it pointed out that using DNSSEC would be a bit
too much overhead because we are inside a secure network (just as a
feedback to JP).

How is the workflow for adding a new functionality, some kind of rules for
working @dnsmasq source ?!?!
I'm not a C guru, but I'd like to contribute as much as I can to speed up
the implementation of supporting arbitrary RR types......immediately after
my Corpus Christi vacation ;-) ....
