I wonder if the best thing to do would be to define an ANAME/AAAANAME
that can be negotiated by resolvers. If the resolver supports it (it
can let the auth know via EDNS0) then the ANAME/AAAANAME is returned
without resolution. If the resolver doesn't support it, then a
synthetic A/AAAA can be returned.
