I for one want my laptop to be suspicious of random DNS servers it encounters in public places, and bypass them if they're found to be lying. I also want to be able to make an exception in case I'm visiting a misconfigured network and really need to access some internal server. It seems to me that the system needs to ask the user whether they are in a public hotspot that they're using only as a way to access the Internet, or whether they're visiting a friend and want to access internal servers. I don't see a way to tell the difference reliably without any user interaction. > The idea of forwarding DNS queries to Fedora servers sounds completely > non-sensical to me...

All too often everything except TCP port 443 is blocked or tampered with. It is certainly far from ideal, which is why it's right to do it only as a last resort when all other ways are blocked.
