That sounds like a good idea to me (FWIW),
though I also still think a simple raw-socket
application would do it just fine, possibly with
no kernel modification at all.
But since the kernel wouldn't be maintaining
the DNS info, which was my real objection to the
original version, netlink would work well too.
