+bind9 has a limit on the number of characters in a single line TXT record. I was unable to provision the DKIM TXT record using propellor due to this limit.
+
+I added a new MTXT record type to `Propellor.Types.DNS.Record` ([patch][1]).
+
+MTXT creates a multiline TXT record. It splits the record's text (say
+"long string...\n...xyz") at `'\n'` and creates a TXT record of the
+form:
+
+
+ domain IN TXT ( "long string..."
+ "...xyz" )
+
+
+I'm [currently using this recipe][2] to provision the DKIM TXT record.
+
+I want to know if there is a better way to do this without having to add the MTXT record type?
