Not exactly, what I'm saying is that on *every* network that has a correct DNS setup, this change will result in a small performance hit and/or useless network noise. This is not a question of "large company networking". Everyone can setup dnsmasq for local name resolution and get rid of that annoyance. I just feel slightly uncomfortable impacting those who do it well to cater for protocol-breaking DNS providers. But it might be an acceptable trade-off... I just wait for others to give their opinion.

This impacts networks with more than one SMB host that do not have local DNS setup, and that happen to use OpenDNS or some other broken DNS as upstream DNS. With more and more small NAS/video boxes in home networks, and more and more ISPs switching to that dubious revenue model, this becomes a common occurrence.
