I mean, if a DNS server honors client-subnet, then it doesn't really matter which node is making the lookup. you might as well loop over your local machine and change the client-subnet. what could be very interesting though, is to map DNS servers supporting EDNS0 and ones not supporting it (i.e. which network operators should be bugged to support it...). it would be very good for network operators to see e.g. in-country adoption rate before relying on a CDN using EDNS0 as the core POP routing technology.
