+1.
Linking against libunbound is already a thing.  You get DNSSEC too.
We used centralized resolvers because of too little ram, and to enable
caching.

The issue that I see are:
  1) so-called "DNS" firewalls, which are imposed as a condition of internet.
     Determining how/if/when we trust them.

  2) IoT devices which have user, and which might really not have enough ram.

While there are split-horizon DNS issues that many organizations deploy
regularly, I think that they architectural concept is old, stale and broken.
IPv6 provides better mechanisms, and we should recommend them.
