Channel-security solutions like the non-standard and poorly documented
DNScurve provide confidentiality against a passive third-party
observer. Not against the operators of the authoritative name servers
who see a lot of traffic and can share it with others. (For instance,
several of the root name servers are managed by the US army or a US
government agency.)

Not to mention the resolvers of the ISP or the big open resolvers like
OpenDNS or Google Public DNS, both based in PRISMland. (They see even
more since the caching does not "protect" against them.)

To summary, modify DNS to ensure confidentiality is highly
non-trivial.
