## What Jamie wrote

This is really nifty -- putting Lua functions into your DNS server! I didn't realize there were DNS servers that could do this type of function but it opens up some pretty interesting solutions. Word of caution though, perhaps they are a little too interesting. I could see this confusing people when troubleshooting.
