One reason why we did not drop DNSPort in Tails, which using ttdnsd
for requests types DNSPort is not able to answer: using *only* ttdnsd
makes you rely on a very small number of upstream DNS servers; if you
do so, whatever hostname they decide does not exist any more, does not
exist anymore for you.
