Boy, RFC2915 looks complex! However, as far as I can see, all the
complexity is loaded on the client/resolver. The server just has to spit
out data. Adding support to dnsmasq is simply a question of adding
option-parsing code and something to add_resource_record() in rfc1035.c.

The only difficulty is deciding if the global utility is owrth the extra
code-size: is NAPTR support likely to be useful to a reasonable number
of people?

Cheers,

Simon.
