The DNS cache issue is bogus, you only see the effect if you CHOOSE to

Doug mentioned verification by MUAs, which is not something that a network
operator can control, and which will significantly increase the load on
DNS caches if it becomes popular. However I think this is a per-site
scaling problem (each site may have to upgrade its caches), not a network-
wide scaling problem (the DNS won't melt down).
