It also means that the resolver performing the lookup needs to
understand this concept of "provisioning domain" and to know which
such domain(s) matter for the lookup in question.

My big book of Internet magic doesn't seem to explain how the
resolver would know this, or how the RR would be tagged to
designate which domain(s) it applies to.
