Well, DNS is both a significant way one could profile what types of information a given connection is used for and could be used to profile you, so I want to give a DNS provider incomplete information where possible. And as DNS is also a common way to redirect or censor traffic, I feel like there'd be value in a system that would double check that everyone's sending me to the same place. If I get inconsistent results, I could dump both and query two other ones in the pool.

The problem I have there is that Akamai and other CDNs seem to return different results if I'm using my ISP's resolvers vs any others. Getting good local nodes is important in a bandwidth constrained (and far away) environment like Australia.
