Not exactly, what I'm saying is that on *every* network that has a
correct DNS setup, this change will result in a small performance hit
and/or useless network noise. This is not a question of "large company
networking". Everyone can setup dnsmasq for local name resolution and
get rid of that annoyance. I just feel slightly uncomfortable impacting
those who do it well to cater for protocol-breaking DNS providers. But
it might be an acceptable trade-off... I just wait for others to give
their opinion.

This impacts networks with more than one SMB host that do not have local
DNS setup, and that happen to use OpenDNS or some other broken DNS as
upstream DNS. With more and more small NAS/video boxes in home networks,
and more and more ISPs switching to that dubious revenue model, this
becomes a common occurrence.
