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.
