The docs say: 

  int getQType() - record type, it can be 255(ANY) for delete

now I do wonder how that maps to the various types of deletes listed
in section 2.5.2 - 2.5.4 of RFC 2136. Maybe somebody more knowledable
in this area can tell us more.


TTL value is not available, only the fields mentioned in the docs are.
