Thank you for your kind, polite, and constructive words. Now that you've
framed your point of view in this way I value and understand it in a way
that I had heretofore not appreciated.
Please also remember that this is not simply a DNS client issue, but
also a DNS server issue: Windows DNS server lacks extensible RR type
support as well, as I have been mentioning.

I have a hard time believing that your network can't support:
routers
firwalls
print servers
macs
*nix
or any other system/device that speaks regular DNS over UDP 53.
If your network is really that borked then I'm not sure its worth
considering as a mainstream dependancy. It sounds like you guys have
chosen to effectively disable DNS, which means that we're talking
about
site-specific architecture issues.
