On my DNS servers almost all of the traffic goes via the default route,
and for my authoritative servers in particular that doesn't provide muct
of a clue about the path MTU. AIUI the plan to reduce fragmentation is
mostly about this awkward inter-AS rec -> auth path. If you have an
on-link client on a subnet that supports jumbograms then yay, the server
can use the extra MTU, but I think other cases will need explicit
configuration by the admin.
