I have (had) a bind server doing that (127.0.0.1), but of course, then 
my phone made a query to itself. Probably not a big deal, but didn't 
know how to make bind reply with NXDOMAIN in such instances.

Anyone know how that would be done?

That's impressively large.

I may give it a whirl and see if it impacts response time.


Thanks!
