Networking guide says to run a TXT query but not how to do it about docs

Not sure why "Warning: Message parser reports malformed message packet." shows there.

You get that message if you are talking to an organization that doesn't have any instances yet - I tried it again with my personal account and got this:

/tmp % dig txt _apps.internal

Here's the relevant file: https://github.com/superfly/docs/blob/main/reference/private-networking.html.md

This provides a neater, shorter output:

dig +noall +answer _apps.internal txt
_apps.internal.		5	IN	TXT	"datasette-apache-proxy-demo,datasette-demo,messages-demo,pillarpointstewards,simon-tiddlywiki,sjc-postgres"
