Re: RFC 1035, section 3.3.1

[Edward Lewis <edlewis@arin.net>]

This is what I meant.  I was trying some code, but with faulty data. 
The "logical" thing to me, as well as what the code did once the data 
was fixed was the same - the first SNAME is QNAME, the second SNAME 
would qualify as a wild card name.

(3.3.1 has RDATA in the title, so maybe that's a trick question.)
