## dns.resolveAny(hostname, callback)

- `hostname` {string}
- `callback` {Function}
- `err` {Error}
- `ret` {Object[][]}

Uses the DNS protocol to resolve all records (also known as `ANY` or `*` query).
The `ret` argument passed to the `callback` function will be an array containing
various types of records. Each object has a property `type` that indicates the
type of the current record. And depending on the `type`, additional properties
will be present on the object:

Not sure... the table may be ok if the sentence leading into it is changed up a bit. Not having any specific ideas on how to improve it tho. It just reads a bit awkward.

Hmmm... So I gave an example following.

| Type | Properties |
|------|------------|
| `"A"` | `address` / `ttl` |
| `"AAAA"` | `address` / `ttl` |
| `"CNAME"` | `value` |
| `"MX"` | Refer to [`dns.resolveMx()`][] |
| `"NAPTR"` | Refer to [`dns.resolveNaptr()`][] |
| `"NS"` | `value` |
| `"PTR"` | `value` |
| `"SOA"` | Refer to [`dns.resolveSoa()`][] |
| `"SRV"` | Refer to [`dns.resolveSrv()`][] |
| `"TXT"` | This is an array-like object with `length` and `indexes`, eg. `{'0':'sth','length':1}` |

Here is a example of the `ret` object passed to the callback:

Shouldn’t there be a corresponding eslint-enable comment? probably not, looking at other docs. 😄
