I want to add two unique strings for my domain in a TXT record (I
currently have one message, but I need a second, distinct message).
According to RFC 1035, 3.3.14 (page 20):
**********
3.3.14. TXT RDATA format
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
/ TXT-DATA /
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
where:
TXT-DATA One or more <character-string>s.
TXT RRs are used to hold descriptive text. The semantics of the text
depends on the domain where it is found.
**********
How, precisely, is the second (or third) string added? Is it a single
TXT record with multiple messages (character-strings)? If so, what
is/are the delimiters for TXT-DATA?
Or do I add a second (or third) TXT record? Are multiple TXT records
even allowed?
