Hi,

Just for information, what are the technical reasons IPsec has not been
considered at all for providing DNS privacy.

The use of IPsec could re-use existing extensions like NAT traversal,
compatibility with UDP/TCP, resilience to change of IP addresses... and
this without creating new extensions.

Would it worth being documented ?

BR,
Daniel
