DNS stub resolver answer

Instances of this class bundle up the result of a successful DNS resolution.

For convenience, the answer object implements much of the sequence protocol, forwarding to its rrset. E.g. "for a in answer" is equivalent to "for a in answer.rrset", "answer[i]" is equivalent to "answer.rrset[i]", and "answer[i:j]" is equivalent to "answer.rrset[i:j]".

Note that CNAMEs or DNAMEs in the response may mean that answer node's name might not be the query name.
