MXRecord	Mail Exchange - specifies where mail to a domain is sent
Name	A representation of a domain name.
NAPTRRecord	Name Authority Pointer Record - specifies rewrite rule, that when applied to an existing string will produce a new domain.
NS_CNAME_PTRRecord	Implements NS, CNAME, PTR, and DNAME records, which have identical formats
