everything running it's own resolver. Especially on devices that move

These could be made to be pretty lightweight. Smaller footprint than,
say, Angry Birds.

Then you don't need to worry about the ISP (or the hotel's crappy
NXDOMAIN redirection, MX-intercepting) resolvers, you run your own
on-board and if the ISP/crappy hotel etc is trying to block that you
just tunnel it (or use that nifty dns-over-http gateway which was
discussed here recently).

I have to confess I've been putting some thought into it again lately.
