Hi Christian, Thanks for the explanation - This was exactly the the piece of the puzzle I was missing. 😊
I'd be happy to help clarify this in the BOLT10 specification, if that makes any type of sense? I can make a pull request for review? /Thomas ________________________________ From: Christian Decker <decker.christ...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 16, 2018 9:37:17 AM To: Thomas Steenholdt Cc: lightning-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org Subject: Re: DNS Seed query semantics clarification Hi Thomas, indeed the spec is a bit vague on the flags. The intent is to use them as subdomains. For example if you want to query for only realm IPv4 nodes then you'd use the following: dig a2.seed.bitcoinstats.com while IPv4 or IPv6 nodes, but only nodes with realm 0, should be returned to the following: dig r0.a6.seed.bitcoinstats.com Notice however that I haven't implemented the query filtering itself just yet.
