An “RR of unknown type” is an RR whose RDATA format is not known to the DNS implementation at hand, and whose type is not an assigned QTYPE or Meta-TYPE as specified in 2929] nor within the range reserved in that section for assignment only to QTYPEs and Meta-TYPEs. The purpose of the Unknown resource record is to allow future DNS implementations to handle new RR types transparently. For further details see RFC-3597.
References to record:unknown are object references. The name part of a UNKNOWN record object reference has the following components:
- Name of the record
- Name of the view
Example: record:unknown/ZG5zLmhvc3RjkuMC4xLg:9.9.0.1/some.name.com/default
These fields are actual members of the object; thus, they can be requested by using _return_fields, if the fields are readable.
The basic version of the object contains the field(s): name, view.
