/**
 * \brief DNS request to be checked.
 *
 * This plays the role of Context of the generic template ACLs (in namespace
 * isc::acl).
 *
 * It is a simple structure holding just the bunch of information. Therefore
 * the names don't end up with an underscore; there are no methods so they
 * can't be confused with local variables.
 *
 * This structure is generally expected to be ephemeral and read-only: It
 * would be constructed immediately before a particular ACL is checked
 * and used only for the ACL match purposes.  Due to this nature, and since
 * ACL processing is often performance sensitive (typically it's performed
 * against all incoming packets), the construction is designed to be
 * lightweight: it tries to avoid expensive data copies or dynamic memory
 * allocation as much as possible.  Specifically, the constructor can
 * take a pointer or reference to an object and keeps it as a reference
 * (not making a local copy).  This also means the caller is responsible for
 * keeping the passed parameters valid while this structure is used.
 * This should generally be reasonable as this structure is expected to be
 * used only for a very short period as stated above.
 *
 * Based on the minimalist philosophy, the initial implementation only
 * maintains the remote (source) IP address of the request.  The plan is
 * to add more parameters of the request.  A scheduled next step is to
 * support the TSIG key (if it's included in the request).  Other possibilities
 * are the local (destination) IP address, the remote and local port numbers,
 * various fields of the DNS request (e.g. a particular header flag value).
