Some DNS information is parsed by Atlas and returned in the JSON
answer (such as the length of the various DNS sections) but, if you
want all the DNS data, you'll have to parse yourself the DNS blob
included in the JSON answer (field "abuf"). You can get inspiration
from the source code of the official client, or from Blaeu's
blaeu-resolve <https://framagit.org/bortzmeyer/blaeu>.
