Hi, I'm using the latest powerDNS under Linux with the mysql backend.

I'm trying to use powerdns to support IPSEC where encryption keys are embedded 
in either KEY or TXT records. PowerDNS doesn't seem to support KEY type 
records, so I tried a TXT type, but ran out of space at 256 characters.

Does anyone know what needs to be done with PowerDNS to serve a TXT record 
which would like like this in bind:

abc        IN      TXT     "X-IPsec-Server(10)=1.2.3.4" "
