> RFC 1464 - Using the Domain Name System To Store Arbitrary String Attributes
> http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1464.html
> TXT records associate arbitrary string information (ASCII text) with attributes that have not been defined by the DNS.  By adding TXT support, Apache DNS can support Sender Policy Framework (SPF).
> Adding a resource record (RR) to Apache DNS involves the following steps:
> 1) Add a new objectClass and possibly attributeType support to the apachedns.schema for the new RR type.
> 2) Add the attributeTypes to the DnsAttribute constants.
> 3) Write an Encoder that knows how to convert from the RR attributes to the binary resource data payload in the DNS reply.
> 4) Add the RR type-to-Encoder mapping to the DnsEncoder's hashed adapter.
> 5) Add example(s) into the LDIF that ships with the DNS protocol provider.
