By "librarified" I mean the DNS "server" is just a code context that can be constructed with it's own config precisely and only as needed by the software that will be querying it (possibly temporarily if it's just client-only activity like a barrage of DNS queries fired in reaction to an email that fails other spam tests). It should not be necessary to change the resolver configuration or behavior of the entire system and everything running on it if only one component in the system needs this special feature (in this case a query limit and private cache). That is just bad programming philosophy and it the source of a lot of bad behavior in software (and DNS is a very good example of this actually)
1: SA has a option to define the nameserver without touch resolv.conf 2: why would somebody not re-use already cached data for any software
