Yes, I know.

My scheme will typically make one or two DNS queries regardless of the 
length of the DNS name.  Yours appears to do a tree walk for each name 
component.

My assumption is that each request is likely to be for a particular 
application.  If you need to enumerate the boundaries for M services, that 
will take M times as long but that doesn't seem like a very common 
situation.
