Maybe we don't need encrypted DNS for each request... instead we should all have a securely downloaded mirror of all DNS records so that individual requests don't go to third parties...
It can't be more then a gigabyte... I guess DNS was ahead of its time when it comes to clouds... but clouds are killing the internet as we used to know it
That became unworkable about three and a half decades or so ago, however, and the DNS was created to solve that problem.
