if the name server option doesn't specify an address format,
then your home free... a couple of ways to tell:
whats the separator inside the string? if ":" then == v6
if "." then == v4
and addresses inside the nameserver option are separated by
comma -right? and the list ends w/ a semi-colon.
in the mean time, since I'm already farting about in the code,
I'll give the man page suggestion a whirl.
has anyone ever -tried- this:
option domain name server 239.254.197.10;
to see what happens? as a multicast address, I will have to
stand up several nameservers that talk DNS on that address
and see how confused the client gets (with demonstrably inchoerant
data in each of the nameservers)
