Thanks much for clearing this up for me. I'm obviously not a DNS
expert. Now that I understand better I see I was wrong and it will be
possible to algorithmically avoid querying the TLDs.
So, my concerns surrounding #4 and #5 were based on a misunderstanding
on my part which is now cleared up.
Thanks again!
