This is going to throw a wrench into CDNs like Akamai that use the IP of
the requesting DNS server to determine where to direct your request:

$ dig +short a20.g.akamai.net
a20.g.akamai.net.0.1.cn.akamaitech.net.
216.180.86.39
216.180.86.38
$ dig @8.8.8.8 +short a20.g.akamai.net
96.17.106.139
96.17.106.67

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
