I suppose we might have to fix named(8) to handle TCP connections more
efficiently...
(There might actually be something to this. Your average web browsing,
hoping from site-to-site usage pattern uses a lot of DNS queries. A
persistent TCP connection to your favorite name server might actually be
almost as efficient as repeated UDP send/receives. But that is pure
speculation, and not likely to happen any time soon.)
