+Unknown DNS Resource Record (RR) Types
+--------------------------------------
+
+PowerDNS supports (:rfc:`3597`) syntax for serving unknown record types. For example
+
+::
+
+   e.example.   IN          TYPE1               \# 4 0A000001
+
+Beware that PowerDNS will attempt to parse known record types even if written in this syntax.
+This bug will be fixed in future release.
