It's also not scalable or flexible. How many A records and network
masks would someone want/need to sort? What if it was the A record for
a web server that was to be sorted, but not any other A records on the
same net as that web server?
IIRC the original poster wanted *different* addresses to be returned
based on the source address of the query. Using a sortlist{} clause
would return the same set of addresses, albeit in a different order.
This might or might not meet the original poster's requirements.
