Summary:

Thomas Steenholdt was seeking clarification on the DNS seeds described in BOLT10 and reached out to Christian Decker. The specification was vague on the use of flags as subdomains in query semantics. Christian provided examples of how to query for IPv4 or IPv6 nodes with realm 0 or any realm using the appropriate subdomains, but pointed out that query filtering itself has not been implemented yet. Thomas expressed gratitude for the explanation and offered to help clarify the specification by making a pull request for review.
