Complete DNSL Data Response Code List

Please note that this is a living document, and will be expanded over time. The values present are recommended as a general data set, and ISIPP's IADB does not contain all of the codes below, although all codes used by the IADB comply with the below.

Also note that while the "z" position is generally used to indicate the "how much" of something, where, if it is measurable only as a "yes" or "no", then "0" is used for "no" and "255" is used for "yes". However, the ranges 127.x.128.z through 127.x.255.z are reserved for categories where "z" equal a specific subcategory, rather than a measure of "how much". For example, the 127.2.129.z range is used to indicate "country" with "z" indicating the geographic location.
