Please go read STD 13 and tell me where using a iterative resolver
in a application is BANNED because it is NOT there.  Iterative
resolvers in applications are part to the data flow model for DNS.
Just because MOST application will use a stub resolver doesn't make
it REQUIRED.

There is no attack of the DNS by wanting interative resolvers to
work by default.
