// DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM
//
// Package dns implements a full featured interface to the Domain Name System.
// The package allows complete control over what is send out to the DNS. The package
// API follows the less-is-more principle, but presenting a small, clean interface.
//
// Resource records are native types. They are not stored in wire format.
// Basic usage pattern for creating a new resource record:
//
//      r := new(RR_TXT)
//      r.Hdr = RR_Header{Name: "miek.nl.", Rrtype: TypeMX, Class: ClassINET, Ttl: 3600}
//      r.Pref = 10
//      r.Mx = "mx.miek.nl."
//
// Or directly from a string:
//
//      mx := NewRR("miek.nl. 3600 IN MX 10 mx.miek.nl.")
//
// Or when the default TTL (3600) and class (IN) suit you:
//
//      mx := NewRR("miek.nl. MX 10 mx.miek.nl.")
//
// Or even:
//
//      mx := NewRR("$ORIGIN nl.\nmiek 1H IN MX 10 mx.miek")
// 
// The package dns supports (async) querying/replying, incoming/outgoing Axfr/Ixfr, 
// TSIG, EDNS0, dynamic updates, notifies and DNSSEC validation/signing.
// Note that domain names MUST be full qualified, before sending them. The packages
// enforces this, by throwing a panic().
//
// In the DNS messages are exchanged. Use pattern for creating one:
//
//      m := new(Msg)
//      m.SetQuestion("miek.nl.", TypeMX)
//
// The message m is now a message with the question section set to ask
// the MX records for the miek.nl. zone.
//
// The following is slightly more verbose, but more flexible:
//
//      m1 := new(Msg)
//      m1.MsgHdr.Id = Id()
//      m1.MsgHdr.RecursionDesired = false
//      m1.Question = make([]Question, 1)
//      m1.Question[0] = Question{"miek.nl.", TypeMX, ClassINET}
//
// After creating a message it can be send.
// Basic use pattern for synchronous querying the DNS: 
//
//      // We are sending the message 'm' to the server 127.0.0.1 
//      // on port 53 and wait for the reply.
//      c := NewClient()
//      // c.Net = "tcp" // If you want to use TCP
//      in := c.Exchange(m, "127.0.0.1:53")
//
// An asynchronous query is also possible, setting up is more elaborate then
// a synchronous query. The Basic use pattern is:
// 
//      HandleQueryFunc(".", handler)
//      ListenAndQuery(nil, nil)
//      c.Do(m1, "127.0.0.1:53")
//      // Do something else
//      r := <- DefaultReplyChan
//      // r.Reply is the answer
//      // r.Request is the original request
