I'm running the latest version of MacOS Server. I can't get a new RR 
type into the UI. Even if I use the command line "dnsconfig" tool, I 
can't add a record of a type it doesn't know about; I only get A, AAAA, 
CNAME, NS, MX, PTR, SRV, and TXT. Yes, I could go hacking around in the 
BIND configs that underly their implementation. And at that point I say, 
"New RR types are hard to deploy; not a myth." Telling me I can use a 
different operating system or not use a validating UI is not a 
reasonable response.

The fact is the DNS doesn't provide a way for implementations to 
dynamically update the RR types to provide sensible UI; it's left as an 
exercise for each individual implementer. (Yes, I know about 
draft-levine-dnsextlang; it doesn't seem to have gotten anywhere.) You 
can't much complain about the difficulty of deployment when the 
community won't provide the tools to make deployment easier.
