I realise that the following is not what anybody means in this thread, but just a gentle reminder that it is possible to express other addresses than those used in IPv4 and IPv6 in the DNS. type 1 (A) "a host address" type 19 (X25) "for X.25 PSDN address" type 20 (ISDN) "for ISDN address" type 22 (NSAP) "for NSAP address, NSAP style A record" type 27 (GPOS) "geographical position" type 28 (AAAA) "IPv6 address" type 29 (LOC) "location information" type 31 (EID) "endpoint identifier" type 32 (NIMLOC) "nimrod locator" type 34 (ATMA) "ATM address" type 55 (HIP) "host identity protocol" type 104 (NID) "identifier-locator network protocl (ILNP)" type 105 (L32) "identifier-locator network protocol (ILNP)" type 106 (L64) "identifier-locator network protocol (ILNP)" type 108 (EUI48) "an EUI-48 address" type 109 (EUI64) "an EUI-64 address" I probably missed some. Anyway, I think when people are saying "address record" here they actually mean "IP address record".
