Hi Ed,
you simply can't. Please read carefully the section 3.3 of rfc1035 and
section 3.1.3 of rfc4408.
Strings can not be longer than 255 Characters.
dig or whatever tool you you use displays where the string has been
broken up. If your software can not concat the strings of a txt record
together, the software is broken.
Yes, I know. A lot of software out there parsing spf/txt records can not
cope with strings longer than 255 Characters.
But I think it is easier to fix the software than to extend the dns
protocol.

HI List!
I'm hoping there's and easy fix for this.
Using :
pdns-recursor-3.3-1.el6.x86_64
pdns-backend-mysql-3.1-2.el6.x86_64
pdns-3.1-2.el6.x86_64
When implementing DKIM and querying the TXT records we found that some
of them are being split in the middle with " " ... They are not in the
database this way but show up in the authoritive response thus :
default._domainkey.xxxxxx.net. 85551 IN TXT "v=DKIM1\; t=y\;
p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEArjP6+vgjFoPQNClyQL56SAPDKRux6vBK4NhjsgC3BjmrRPKBVrwymWAfjQUcLh/F17n73lwC11lng2g2goUxKA98peU2TamIxUCJgzXKTWQaeSDZuM9K3E7Zz7WV3DsMdlesQgXpIpOpxOZFNQBbWBitP2w/nRDh3h3W5Fy8zECh8Sy6f+pf4tNsb5d5m3mWwbWxnqWM"

Please disregard the wrap, see the " " next to ...WM" "g3...
The actual record is thus:
v=DKIM1; t=y;
p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEArjP6+vgjFoPQNClyQL56SAPDKRux6vBK4NhjsgC3BjmrRPKBVrwymWAfjQUcLh/F17n73lwC11lng2g2goUxKA98peU2TamIxUCJgzXKTWQaeSDZuM9K3E7Zz7WV3DsMdlesQgXpIpOpxOZFNQBbWBitP2w/nRDh3h3W5Fy8zECh8Sy6f+pf4tNsb5d5m3mWwbWxnqWMg3flGXmSriqg1s0NbHXNR1tQ96fjFVkQKnzvG38BhWWUWFUGVUze+gei/MtfDBbcyLNohcgRoBpK7SA4dLJKSMcRUPkRIS9o9Jk0kDqj76HUw+YqAABAS2+ok6gi2PlwTp62cEOOFj9GKQIDAQAB
This record is over 400 characters long.
We also noticed that shorter records like this one:
426._domainkey.xxxxxxx.net. 86400 IN TXT "v=DKIM1\; k=rsa\; t=y\;
p=MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDX4g65x3TtbcJG6te4BHXLoi/XvUgS86c4Tnt5Cz8+psivHlFpUCEn7PxoT3IwXZFRSu64r9rFIIpuMD7zJO8Q9LsNpLNX/TcKVFVKoLhYgWgH3k98dhFPEpgePxE4/I+7OxdEVttB+Aw7Oyf2WBNKPNuOWswo5U7Ue1dzaWzCFwIDAQAB"
are not split. This one is 242 characters.
What do I need to do to get PDNS to stop inserting the ..." "... in
the middle of the text record ?
Thanks!
