Sure, but if I query "_dmarc.newjersey.sales.bigcorp.wtf" and I get back an
NXDOMAIN for "sales.bigcorp.wtf", I can eliminate at least one query,
because I know right away that the second one in your list isn't there
either.  Extend that out to a name with a dozen or more labels in it and
you're getting somewhere.
