I can think of at least three places where I've seen DNS protocol switches:

- turning a name into an IP address like getaddrinfo()

- turning a name into a set of RRs, like when you stick local stuff into
your DNS cache config

- turning a name into a socket, like with .onion

These are not mutually exclusive and there may be others. I'm not sure
whether this is an IETF topic or an IRTF topic, but I do think it is
long overdue for attention.

R's,
John
