I'm experimenting with a new RR Type for DNS records. The DNS standard allows this, as long as you use a RR TYPE in the range 65,xxx. Dig supports this, by specifying type to be TYPE65xxxx. But I can't figure out how to have Bind parse and serve a zone file with an unknown type.

I'd like to use a format similar to what dig does when it encounters it: I'll specify the type number (eg TYPE65333) the length of the RDATA (eg 32) and the RDATA hexdump. How can I get BIND to parse and serve rthis?

BIND will accept records of arbitrary type on the standardized generic opaque record format:

foo.example.com. IN TYPE<typeno> \# <length> <hexencodedRData>
