It looks like A, AAAA, TXT record look ups have a max # of lookup of 7 to limit CNAME chaining in backend_lookup.go. We have a use case where we have more than 7 lookups/CNAME chain. Many endpoints from Microsoft openai has chains greater than 7 now, I'm wondering if we can increase this limit to 10. One example would be an endpoint thats on their website: docs-test-001.openai.azure.com with 8 lookups to get to the A record. Because of this, we don't even see a response back, instead we see messages like bad address.

Any oppositions for increasing this arbitrary limit of 7 to something greater like 10?
