Regarding the use of the LUA record type, the current documentation at 
https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/lua-records/ states:

>Warning
>When using AXFR to transfer long LUA records, ensure that the record content 
>is split into segments no longer than 255 bytes. Otherwise, due to the nature 
>of the transfer method (as TXT content), the content will be split into 255

If it is possible, how would I properly fragment the LUA answer over 255 bytes 
in length so that a downstream PowerDNS instance would reassemble it correctly 
(keeping the order of the fragments?).

Thanks in advance and best regards,
