I deliberately didn't mention that so as to avoid getting into specifics

I did not imply it had anything to do with Go, I merely sampled Go's
stub resolver in my potted survey.  It's actually the one that comes out
best since it re-starts parsing the whole packet, as I stated.

AIUI, forgetting SkyDNS exists, it's allowable for a stub resolver to be
configured to talk to a server that can answer authoritatively for the
CNAME and the A, thus some clarification may be needed.
