Oh boy. DNS is particularly fun to muck around with. The "message
compression" scheme (see RFC 1035 4.1.4) makes it very complex to properly
change resolver packets. I started writing a pair of resolver modules when
Verisign implemented their "site finder" abomination, but abandoned the
project when they discontinued it. If there is interest, perhaps I can pick
up the project again.
