Obviously not!

Probably I badly explained myself.

I know that the size limit is 255 chars, and given that there is the way 
to create a multiple string in a single dns record;

then my question was: does pdns 2.9.22 support the multiple string once 
the the content field size has been changed from varchar(255) to 
varchar(64000)?
