I suspect the answer is C) none of the above. As for (A), I don't
think too many implementations fall into this category, and the ones
that do should probably be fixed for other reasons. As for (B), the
trade off is increased cache size vs. increased query load; no amount
of fiddling with the DNS specs is gonna get you around that.
None of this means we shouldn't move forward. We should probably note
DNS load issues and cache sizes as an operational consideration and
keep moving forward.
