dnsqrx query a proxy DNS server using the DNS protocol
`dnsqrx` t fqdn s

## Description

`dnsqrx` looks up resource records of type t for fqdn by making a Domain Name System request to a proxy DNS server at s. It prints the results in a human-readable format, more compact than the dig 1 output format.

It expects to query a proxy DNS server, and the request is marked as recursive. t may be a name or a number. Currently recognized names are: `any`, `a`, `ns`, `mx`, `ptr`, `txt`, `cname`, `soa`, `hinfo`, `rp`, `sig`, `key`, `aaaa`, `axfr`, and `srv`.
