// DYNAMIC UPDATES
// 
// Dynamic updates reuses the DNS message format, but renames three of
// the sections. Question is Zone, Answer is Prerequisite, Authority is
// Update, only the Additional is not renamed. See RFC 2136 for the gory details.
//
// You can set a rather complex set of rules for the existence of absence of
// certain resource records or names in a zone to specify if resource records
// should be added or removed. The table from RFC 2136 supplemented with the Go 
// DNS function shows which functions exist to specify the prerequisites.
