Yup - fully understand and agree; I just didn't want us to jump to
something like "parallel queries solves the latency concern" without this
background / checking - it might end up being the right answer (or, even
better, something like this coupled with multiple responses, where you
query for NS, and get back both NS and NEW (if available) as an additional
record).
