There are many environments that benefit from a local DNS cache (for
example FAI with flacky DNS, people will local cache have perfect service
while others wonder why they are disconnected all the time), it can
implement DNS features third party DNS miss (so apps don't have to deal
with buggy DNSes), and anyone dealing with DNS ops MUST already factor
TTLs in since many systems already use DNS caches.

The braindamaged thing is to deal with DNS warts localy in all apps
instead of using a central system-wide component that can get enough
attention to be solid.
