Hi,

in my experience with building yet another DNS resolver from scratch was that 
the gain from the shared networked cache was heavily paid in the latency.

I would encourage you to actually do a performance testing with cold and hot 
cache and my educated guess is that shared redis cache will help with 
bootstrapping, but once you reach a state where most of the answers are already 
in the cache there’s no or negative benefit from it.

I believe that in most scenarios the increased complexity in not worth the 
benefit gained.
