i don't think we've made it clear to them that this only happens once.

i know that. but the second RTT stub-rdns only happens once per unique 
SRV or AAAA/A. after they are both cached, they are returned in a single 
RTT.

i don't think they are objecting to something that only happens on the 
first time a unique SRV or AAAA/A is needed. someone should explain to 
them that we built this with the expectation that popular data would be 
fast, and unpopular data wouldn't make a difference in the long run.
