3) In R8 you mention a timeout. Is it already anywhere specified how
to set such a time for DNS retransmissions? If so, I think a reference
would be useful. If not, more guidance is need to avoid network overload.
No, I don't think so.
Retransmissions tend to become complex alchemy, exactly because too many
things could go wrong with the request, and different remedies work well
for different causes. I believe this was among the motivations in both
of https://www.dnsflagday.net occurrences (EDNS handling and default UDP
size limits), so it's at least somewhat better recently - but as a
resolver vendor I don't consider these parameters suitable for tinkering
by users. (though some other vendors/people surely might have a
different opinion)
