yes, but what is being asked for now, is that the host equivalent of
/etc/resolv.conf be extended with a list of suffixes.  We are told that
mobile operators (who still think they own the handsets) will be
deploying various application layer systems whereby the application will
always do some DNS requests over 4G, and some content will only be
available that way.

So, this failure you describe will still occur, but instead of "timeout"
the user will get "host not found"

Thus why I said ULA-C.
