[Pdns-dev] passing original QTYPE to the backend

[Zane Thomas]

Hi Peter,

(and sorry everyone for the somewhat confusing grammar below, I should
have proofed)

The way I actually did handle ANY queries is to leave out problematic
records. This has been working well on millions of domains for over a
year. It would be possible, by issuing specific queries of various
types, to determine that the set of records returned for ANY does not
reflect the complete set of resource records in the zone. However, in
practice that has not been an issue.

I had no choice when it came to taking this approach; the database I
adapted through my backend cannot reasonably be cleaned.
