RR type SPF *is* the recommended way. SPF RR was ratified some time ago, any modern resolver knows about it.<BR>
If you are using an outdated resolver system that spits errors on that, that's hardly any ones fault but your own.<BR>
<BR>
However the suggested method at present is to run the TXT as well, because a lot of admins are too lazy to get with the times<BR>

The type is TXT, not SPF

Subject: SPF record Syntax
I found a couple of great articles that explain SPF records but
not quite far enough. I am in a syntax war with nsupdate as the
examples appear to show everything but how the actual record
looks.
They appear to be like many other RR's so I tried
update add posse.okstate.edu. 10 IN SPF "v=spf1 ip4:209.235.101.208/29
-all"
and I get
'SPF' is not a valid type: unknown class/type
Let's take out the TTL.
As expected:
ttl 'IN': not a valid number
We are running bind9.5.1 and I did check to make sure
that nsupdate is the right one for this version of bind. It is
as it was installed the day I installed bind95 so it should
understand SPF. Obviously, I have the wrong syntax.
I've already gotten one "Are we their yet?" today so I need to
find out what I am doing/not doing to get this SPF record
in place.
I did put a .TXT record in as this is a suggested
procedure to handle resolvers that don't do SPF yet.
Thanks for any help.
