It adds clarity that you're proposing an alternate solution precisely because it's simpler/less work and not as a general alternative. It's a qualifier. think of it as shorthand for "Wouldn't it be easier if..."

Saying something like "would it be easier to add a DNS record" seems effective too without the baggage?

  • Twice the words. But more importantly, if a DNS record is a bad idea, your version is likely to get a more detailed response. It can be valuable to get a compact answer like filtering rules or we don't have a local DNS server.

    • Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick indeed.

      I mean if we're really debating question length then omitting the just also works... "Add a DNS record?" is sufficient.
