Either this, or there should be a relationship between the resolver and the 
AP/switch/firewall/CPE in which appropriate query responses are shared. That 
might be the better long term approach.  What is key- in order for protection 
to work, the infrastructure needs to know (1) what names are authorized and (b) 
their associated addresses.  As important, its understanding must be the same 
as that of the device that makes the query.
