Summary0002165: How should GNS handle mixed DNS requests (legacy/gns)
DescriptionThe DNS parser service allows a single request to contain multiple queries. This makes it problematic for only GNS (or DNS for that matter) to answer since we can either:
"answer" the request with GNS in which case we cannot resolve i.e. .com queries
 or
"forward" the request to DNS in which case we cannot resolve .gnunet queries

Intuitively I would suggest to only allow single query or homogenous dns requests.

I'm not sure such queries ever happen in practice or would be answered by a normal DNS resolver. So I'm willing to consider this an "exotic" feature for now that, if it is actually legal, we may want to some day in the distant future support. I'm moving the bug from GNS to DNS as the DNS API is what is not able to handle this case nicely right now.
