Host Information resource record, HINFO, is for host specific data. This lists the hardware and operating system that are running at the listed host. If you want to include a space in the machine name you must quote the name (using ``"'' characters.) There could be one HINFO record for each host, though for security reasons most domains don't have any HINFO records at all. No application depends on them.
