I'm afraid that won't work. There are two issues there, the first one is
that dnsdist doesn't know how to parse most records, so it can't export
them. You could in theory do the parsing in Lua from the raw bytes, but
then you would stumble unto the second issue which is that you can't add
a record to a protobuf message from Lua.

If you really need to export all records, I would suggest having a look
at dnstap instead of our own protobuf format, as it exports the whole
DNS packet.
