Describe the desired feature

Support for querying multiple RR types for the same domain name in a single message, as defined in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnssd-multi-qtypes/ which appears to be stable enough to avoid dramatic shifts in design.

Potential use-case

This would reduce the volume of DNS messages for the very common use case of issuing simultaneous A and AAAA queries for the same name by 50%, more if any other records are also requested (such as SVCB and HTTPS which is becoming more common for other standards/drafts, such as ECH).

This may already be in your roadmap, but a cursory query through the GitHub issues didn't show anything for me.
