that's true in an empty cache. but that emptiness will be short lived. at stead state, query-minimization has no more queries than longest-match. > > If you use A queries you save a lookup in the common case where there > isn't a zone cut at the leaf. since the intermediate queries (all but for the qname itself) are intended to solicit referrals, the qtype on those doesn't matter. they should probably use the original qtype, because of middleboxes who would see qtype=NS as unnatural. -- Paul Vixie
