(All) DNS Resource Records

In this directory you will find bind(8) DNS zone files used by panix.netmeister.org to serve a reasonable looking entry for every defined DNS Resource Record (RR).

That is, for each RR <rr>, there exists an RR of type <rr> under <rr>.dns.netmeister.org.

In addition, each RR has an accompanying TXT record summarizing the purpose of the RR as well as which RFC the record was defined in (earliest and latest), and a TXT record providing the format of the RDATA in question.

This allows you to look up any given RR type and retrieve an example via the common host lookup tools:

host -t a a.dns.netmeister.org
dig aaaa aaaa.dns.netmeister.org +short
nslookup -query=cname cname.dns.netmeister.org
...

Since this zone is DNSSEC signed and uses NSEC instead of NSEC3, you can easily walk the entire zone.

Note: not all of the values (RDATA) of these RRs necessarily is meaningful, correct, or make sense. They are, however, valid.

Your client may not support all RRs. If you do not get a response (or not the response you expected), try performing an ANY lookup against panix.netmeister.org.

A longer discussion of each record an be found at: https://www.netmeister.org/blog/dns-rrs.html
