FORMAT v1 _OWNER._relation IN TXT "v=RELATION1; name=RELATIVE; weight=PRIORITY; status=RELATIONSHIP; peerdomain=DOMAIN" v=RELATION<n> : version of the DNS Relation Protocol name=<RELATIVE> : name of the relative person weight=<PRIORITY> : priority of the relative person, hightest priority win. zero is neutral, while the most negative means the most disliked. status=<RELATIONSHIP> : relationship status. friend, girl/boy friend, parent, ... peerdomain=<DOMAIN> : RELATIVE._relation.DOMAIN must point to a Relation DNS Entry pointing to you FORMAT v1.1 Addition of the "delegate=DOMAIN" option. Only usable with format v1.1+, and if delegate=DOMAIN is present, no others options are considered. Example: _OWNER._relation IN TXT "v=RELATION1.1; delegate=DOMAIN" FORMAT v1.2 TTL is now taken into consideration. Default TTL for all relatives is the TTL of the TXT DNS records itself. the TTL can be overrided for specific relatives by adding a ttl=SECONDS option to the content of the TXT record itself. peers MUST refresh the Relation database at least every TTL seconds if they need to use the records. TTL below 300 seconds COULD be refreshed by peers only all 300 seconds Primary intended usage of the TTL is to allow to raise the forecasted time to live of status=girl/boyfriend relatives. Likewise, status=parent relatives should not ofently change.
