Want to know if there is any way to add custom RR type.(like ip & ipv6)

Well, I'm going to run the modified bind on a local testbed disconnected of internet.
So, no worries on others, this is just for test, and aid with actual protocol development.

Thanks on the hint, now I have to find out where to dig first.
Any knowledge?
