Paul,
Sorry if this is real stupid for some reason because I don't think about
DNS all day (I'm the ldap dude) but since we have faster networks and
faster cpus today, what would be the harm in switching to use TCP for
DNS clients? The latency on the web isn't dns anymore ever it seems to
me.....
Wouldn't that eliminate the ability to poison clients' caches?
any why wouldn't persistent client-server dns connections make sense?
any stupid little bsd or linux box can handle several thousand
connections today pretty easily if tuned correctly by some reasonably
competent primate
