Yes, that's similar to what I was going to reply to Ralf, more generally if TCP performance were better for DNS (i.e., it's less of a "cost" to the system) does the inevitable fallback to TCP for real DNS traffic become more palatable for you?
Not much. The amount of round trips is only one part of the problem. The maybe bigger one is the amount of state that TCP introduces into your code, which requires memory and synchronisation which slows the server down considerably.

It's fine to say "EDNS will solve this," but 15 years later it hasn't yet. :)
I haven't done measurements, but I assume there is more EDNS deployed for DNS than TCP fast open.

So long
