The cost of port checking is not low.

Variant 1: try 853 and 53 in parallel. High code complexity and a high 
likelihood that the first query to a 'new' auth (where 'new' might be measured 
in minutes) will be plain text anyway.

Variant 2: try 853 first. How long do we wait for a timeout? In DNS, 500ms is a 
long time.

This is not happy eyeballs where both transports (v4 and v6) tend to have 
identical security properties. 

DNS Flag Day 2019 (no more EDNS fallbacks) was designed to reduce probing and 
guessing in the resolver process. I'd love for us to not add probing and 
guessing in other parts of that process.

Kind regards,
