// DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM
//
// Package dns implements a full featured interface to the Domain Name System.
// Server- and client-side programming is supported.
// The package allows complete control over what is send out to the DNS. The package
// API follows the less-is-more principle, by presenting a small, clean interface.
//
// 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 fully qualified, before sending them.
//
// Resource records are native types. They are not stored in wire format.
// Basic usage pattern for creating a new resource record:
//
//      r := new(dns.RR_TXT)
//      r.Hdr = dns.RR_Header{Name: "miek.nl.", Rrtype: dns.TypeMX, Class: dns.ClassINET, Ttl: 3600}
//      r.Pref = 10
//      r.Mx = "mx.miek.nl."
//
// Or directly from a string:
//
//      mx, err := dns.NewRR("miek.nl. 3600 IN MX 10 mx.miek.nl.")
//
// Or when the default TTL (3600) and class (IN) suit you:
//
//      mx, err := dns.NewRR("miek.nl. MX 10 mx.miek.nl.")
//
// Or even:
//
//      mx, err := dns.NewRR("$ORIGIN nl.\nmiek 1H IN MX 10 mx.miek")
// 
//
// In the DNS messages are exchanged, these messages contain resource
// records (sets).  Use pattern for creating a message:
//
//      m := dns.new(Msg)
//      m.SetQuestion("miek.nl.", dns.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(dns.Msg)
//      m1.MsgHdr.Id = Id()
//      m1.MsgHdr.RecursionDesired = true
//      m1.Question = make([]Question, 1)
//      m1.Question[0] = dns.Question{"miek.nl.", dns.TypeMX, dns.ClassINET}
//
// After creating a message it can be send.
// Basic use pattern for synchronous querying the DNS at a
// server configured on 127.0.0.1 and port 53:
//
//      c := new(Client)
//      in, err := c.Exchange(m1, "127.0.0.1:53")
//
// An asynchronous query is also possible, see client.Do and client.DoRtt.
//
// From a birds eye view a dns message consists out of four sections.
// The question section: in.Question, the answer section: in.Answer,
// the authority section: in.Ns and the additional section: in.Extra.
//
// Each of these sections (except the Question section) contain a []RR. Basic
// use pattern for accessing the rdata of a TXT RR as the first RR in 
// the Answer section:
//
//	if t, ok := in.Answer[0].(*RR_TXT); ok {
//		// do something with t.Txt
//	}
