	Really?  Wow.  I'd love to hear more about whatever it is that 
you're doing which cannot handle a 1-2 second delay, and which you 
would deploy in such a way that it was dependant on an inherently 
unreliable communications protocol such as DNS over UDP.

	All the ultra-low-latency applications I can think of (including 
wall street stock trading, where a second of downtime might cost you 
tens or hundreds of millions of dollars), all make sure that they 
don't depend on such unreliable types of systems, at least not for 
the operational side of their networks.
