Hi,

Thank you for the response.

I was not aware that the penetration rates of minor DNS records were
low. I will read the I-D and the mailing list archive.

OTOH, I think that the penetration rate being low might not be a
killer for the proposal, since in the short term, SNI encryption can
be an opportunistic feature, considering the fact that DNS packets
will be sent in cleartext anyways.

It might be possible to query for the A record and the bootstrap
record simultaneously and activate SNI protection only if responses to
both queries are obtained.
