OTOH, for the one of the same reasons DHCP is so popular, that is
centralized local management, it is desirable (in some instances) to
have the validation done in the commons and not in end hosts.
Sorry, not sure I see a valid use case where _security_ (as opposed to
configuration as would be the case in DHCP) is centralized. As I
mentioned, centralization of cached data would be a reasonable
optimization, but the primary pragmatic reason for stub resolvers
talking over the wire has been made obsolete by Moore's law.
