Hello Forum:


I am trying to figure out how I can have a TXT dns record having more than one key-value pair for the same domain (website.com, for example). The problem is that if I have two separate TXT records, only the first one gets returned when doing a dns query on it.

I am using BIND 9.

so, how can I place these two key-value pairs on one TXT record:

TXT "v=spf1 ip4:237.43.37.0/24 ip4:13.434.89.0/26 ip4:82.65.77.242 ~all"

and

TXT "google-site-verification=cadfasklfjasdfsdfJJDSDFSDfdska3kasfjsdf903"

in just one TXT record.


When doing a query, this is what I get:

dig @localhost txt website.com

Pretend those IPs and the google value are real ones.

Here is a page that may be of help. It suggests that you can enclose multiple items either in quotes or parentheses.
