fixed rrset ordering - is this still a thing?

[Ondřej Surý]

Hey,

BIND 9 supports a fixed rrset ordering (that is keeping the order of the RRSets from the zone file). It has to be configured
at the compile time, it takes more memory (to record that order) and it's a #ifdef all over the places.

So, henceforth, my question - does anyone still uses that? And if yes, what are the use cases?

I think BIND is the only server that actually supports this, so it doesn't feel like the DNS can't function without it.

Thanks,
Ondřej
