APPKEY/CERT IN RRs are separated from a host's IN A RRset. Any number of IN APPKEY/CERT RRs attached to a domain name does not affect the size of an IN A query for that domain name. All of these issues would be removed if each application used its own RR. I am beginning to like that approach more and more.. There is plenty of RR space available.
