DNS CAA records...

Wed Jan 18 00:12:32 UTC 2017

So a quick look into this I see one potential real world example:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
google.com.        129    IN    A    216.58.218.142
google.com.        74411    IN    NS    ns4.google.com.
google.com.        74411    IN    NS    ns1.google.com.
google.com.        74411    IN    NS    ns2.google.com.
google.com.        74411    IN    NS    ns3.google.com.
google.com.        3054    IN    TXT    "v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all"
google.com.        64    IN    AAAA    2607:f8b0:4000:802::200e
google.com.        54475    IN    TYPE257    \# 19 0005697373756573796D616E7465632E636F6D

In RFC 6844 section 7.1 it states

"IANA has assigned Resource Record Type 257 for the CAA Resource Record Type"

and I am seeing:

google.com.        54475    IN    TYPE257    \# 19 0005697373756573796D616E7465632E636F6D

So I’ve come across this on Qualys and just wondering if there’s any practical examples out there in the wild.
I know some BIND guys are on here, so I’m sure I’m missing something from the RFCs.
Just wanted to test this out on my play domains before putting it out in the wild...
