The weird and wonderful world of DNS LOC records

This post details the debugging and resolution of an issue where Cloudflare's RRDNS server was not serving LOC records. The root cause was identified as a missing parser for the textual LOC record format, which needed to be converted into RRDNS's internal binary format. The author implemented a parser for the LOC text record type and associated tests, which has now been rolled out to production, enabling RRDNS to serve existing LOC records.
