The wording in the draft isn't super-clear on this, but Ben's responses here 
and in DNSOP have been. DNGLUE contents are treated exactly like other DNS 
glue, meaning they are useful for the current operation only. A resolver can 
just forget they saw them after the current operation is complete.

You get it in the first query, so you can find authoritative information about 
whether the nameservers have encrypted transports.
