Re: [DNSOP] Proposal: Whois over DNS

[John Bambenek <[e-mail]>]

How would having an SRV record and an entirely different (currently undeveloped) service help the situation?

If its a question of query logs, the consequence of putting any service (smtp, web, slack) in the hands of a third-party is they need to provide that (if you pay them) or you don’t get it. Why should this service be special in that regard?
