It's crazy that OSes don't run their own recursive resolver by default or even have it as an option.

I think `systemd-resolved` provides it out-of-the-box for most distros.

  • AFAIK it's just a proxy to another DNS server with the added benefit of being able to resolve local domain names through mDNS.

    • Isn’t that essentially what DNS is? It may cache results but it has to get the results at some point and they communicate with other DNS servers that have the information?
