Hi!

Thanks for the review.  Frank has already commented on this, but I'll
add one more note.  I have also posted a reply to the DNS Stuff forum.

I have moved all of the text about the different lookups out of
section 3.1.1.  I have updated section 4.4 "Record Lookup" to mention
that the lookups can be performed in parallel and I have updated
seciton 4.5 "Selecting Records" to define the PermError results
