And? How much bandwidth does a parallel connection use up? Presumably if this
felt to be a problem, kernels could cache what works and what doesn't.
much less anywhere near "close to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack".
If you look at hostnames such as hp.com which have 13 IPv4 listed in
the DNS, it would probably have a significant effect on their
infrastructure if suddenly every client would attempt 13 parallel
TCP-connects and kill 12 of them pre-natal or during infancy.
I'd be surprised, as them even noticing would tend to indicate they'd be
trivially susceptible to D(D)oS attacks.
However, I thought we were talking about doing parallel lookups/connects to an
IPv6 address at the same time an IPv4 lookup/connect was done. Don't see any
particular point in opening parallel lookups to multiple IPv4 (or IPv6)
addresses.
