I am telling from my first message! And I am telling that your approach is also 
not useful because of several reasons Provided you and you appears that you did 
not read them. Sorry, I am not planning to repeating myself here.

NO.

:-) sorry we are agree on disagree, so I would no longer answer to this 
message. I think I repeated myself a lot. I  keep telling you that NEXT traffic 
that is traffic from User X to server Y is what already the TU has (x can be a 
group of users or one user and y also can be a group of servers) and can 
analyze them all with no problem. So what you change here? Nothing. That 
traffic is running and TU sniffing it. So you just bother yourself to change 
your resolver IP address (hide them in what so ever way) but YOU did not hide 
the main source of traffic and you did not complicate the process of this TU. 

Please widen your scope and also look that what next traffics can be then 
probably you can understand my concern...

TU doesn't want to crawl a website! For your case if TU only wants to focus on 
DNS traffic he needs to crawl a website but not for my case where TU SKIP DNS 
traffic and only check the real user traffics. This traffic clearly in a 
real-time tells TU what a group of users are interested are. 

Best,
