  | CNAMEs, to implement classless delegation a la RFC 2317 ?

TXT is common as well, and RP should be there, and A records for rfc1101
if anyone still does that.   Of course, also AXFR and IXFR.

But the real answer was in the first part of Randy's mail - any RR at all,
so see 1034, 1035, and all that has followed.   in-addr.arpa domains are
no different than any others, except as relates to the expected frequency
of RR's sought there.

This all assumes that "types of queries" means "types of RR's that might be
queried", if read literally though, there's only one type of query that exists
in the DNS (opcode 0) now that IQUERY has been discarded (finally) so that's
the one and only query type that you should be seeing.   The server can also
get NOTIFY and UPDATE packets, but they don't really count as queries.
