| Do you have some numbers to back that up?
No. I thought you were asking what the benefits were supposed to be.
I also thought I made it clear that there isn't currently a lot
of intelligence in DNS configuration. I guess the question is
whether we design protocols so they can be used intelligently by
those who care, or whether we design them assuming that all the
users are morons, and cannot possibly cope with anything sophisticated.

| MX/NS records.
So, way too many DNS admins obviously accept bogus advice that NS
records should be nsN.my.domain (or similar) instead of using the
well known names of the actual servers? That people can be misled
this way doesn't mean that they have to be, or that we should assume
it is the only way.
