Truly, why not to define a DNS.2 system on another set of ports, performing DNS+ services?
With resolvers.2 to query them. There would be nothing to change. Just value added. There should only be a program to co-produce the DNS1&2 files. Who wants implement them.


The interest is that these two DNS parallel systems would be asynchronously managed. So they could immediately permit to check the validity of a response in one by the other. Since 2 would not be in real operations, it could be considered as a test. But in starting with common services with low additional CPU and complexity, DNS.2 could bring some immediate plus. And produce good field test data.

However, I suppose the test could go very fast if DNS.2 "tested" the direct support of Unicode names. Also if the user resolvers had their own root file? I am ready to maintain a DNS wish list on dot-root, to see what could be the suggestions? If they do not make sense we will see it quick, otherwise it would give some ideas to chew.

I can run both processes in the same computer safely because each
is running as a different non-root user and each is chrooted to
a different place in the file system. If I'm really paranoid, I
can run each in its own Linux virtual machine (UML) - all the while
using only one IP address.

I suspect my response to this comment would be unpopular here.
