Request: Be able to retrieve raw label and rdata #410

Description

@GeorgeMathiasLumen

I am using dnsjava to parse zone files which are then loaded into the database.

Currently, when I do master.nextRecord() on a CNAME/NS/MX records, it returns me fully qualified rdata even if it is a short name. Also labels are fully qualified as well. How can I get a label and rdata as it appears in the zone file.

For e.g.

$ORIGIN planet.net.
ipa1.ams1 CNAME s5-0-0-4-0.ipa1.ams1
$ORIGIN ipa1.ams1.planet.net.
s5-0-0-1-0 A 192.168.10.12

I would like to be able to get value of label as "ipa1.ams1" and rdata as "s5-0-0-4-0.ipa1.ams1". Also, how do I get origin of "ipa1.ams1.planet.net." from the record.

As of now, since the record returns ipa1.ams1.planet.net. I cannot tell which one is origin and the short label.

Thank You
