Ted,

While I'm not concerned about the issues you raised in your caricature, 
I feel that I have tried to engage you in your discussion of different 
security models. My understanding is that your models devolve down to 
two. Either the user configures a resolver themselves (whether it's 
DOH/DOT or not), and user doesn't configure a resolver themselves. I 
recognize the distinction you made between your models 1 and 3, and 
further recognize that it's extremely important to some people. My point 
is that *from the standpoint of a DHCP option for DOH/DOT* it's not 
relevant.

 From our discussion, it seems that you're in agreement with me that if 
a user isn't configuring a resolver explicitly that they are no worse 
off with DOH/DOT than they are without it. Am I right so far?

Meanwhile, you've also voiced an opinion that the presence of a DHCP 
option implies some sort of endorsement by the IETF. I (and others) 
replied that we've never heard of this, and disagree strongly with your 
position.

So other than the fact that we disagree on the endorsement issue, what 
am I missing here?

Doug
