Exactly. But until now, by far too many time was wasted to 
dance around the problem how to find workaround for the 
flaws and limitations of DNS.

DNS is made for finding IP addresses for domain names. That's what we

DNS is not made for transporting other information hidden in it's 
record types by violation of their meaning. That's what we should 
not use it for.
