Description Martin Kosek 2015-03-31 07:02:20 UTC 
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/bind-dyndb-ldap/ticket/157

= Enhancement proposal =
[[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3597|RFC 3597]] describes mechanism necessary for supporting unknown/new DNS RR types in DNS servers. BIND 9 supports this so should expose this functionality too. It would be a future-proof workaround for cases when someone needs a new type.

= Use case =
Users may want to use new types which are not directly supported by underlying BIND or LDAP schema.

= Proposed implementation =
1 new attribute with sub-type specifying RR type as a number. This attribute should contain data encodedaccording to [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3597#section-5|RFC 3597 section 5]].
