I think Benjamin might have ment something more like the object of the 
query, i.e. looking at ip address returned in an A RR.  However, I think 
Benjamin would realize, after thinking it over, that this method would not 
work for quiries for SOA, TXT, and other RR's who's RDATA is not a 
"destination"...
