Hi Christian,
Thanks for the explanation - This was exactly the the piece of the puzzle I was missing. 😊
I'd be happy to help clarify this in the BOLT10 specification, if that makes any type of sense? I can make a pull request for review?
/Thomas

Subject: Re: DNS Seed query semantics clarification
Hi Thomas,
indeed the spec is a bit vague on the flags. The intent is to use them
as subdomains. For example if you want to query for only realm IPv4
nodes then you'd use the following:
dig a2.seed.bitcoinstats.com
while IPv4 or IPv6 nodes, but only nodes with realm 0, should be
returned to the following:
dig r0.a6.seed.bitcoinstats.com
Notice however that I haven't implemented the query filtering itself
just yet.
Cheers,
Christian
