It's always a bad idea for a programm to do the dns itself, instead of
using the dns anyone on the host does. You get a inconsistent behaviour
at best, and a security nightmare at worse. DOx in a browser or any other
programm is wrong anyhow.

The software that decided that DNS answers are too security sensitive to
not be validated is now blamed for not trusting the system resolver
after it found said system resolver was untrustworthy.

As John Gilmore used to say, if you can't not trust your friends, who
can you not trust? :)
