The problem isn't DNS in GP. DNS will happily supply the IP address for a CDN. The HTTP[S] request will thereafter be sent by the caller to the CDN (in the case of CloudFlare, Akamai, etc.) where it will be handled and potentially logged before the result is retrieved from the cache or the configured origin (i.e. backing server).

This sounds like a big security flaw in the system that uses access links. Secrets should not be logged (in most cases).

When opening a Dropbox/GoogleDocs/OneDrive link, I expect the application not to route them through potentially unsafe CDNs.
