Hi,

Would it be possible for your servers to first verify whether a DOH address
is really a DNS before running actual atlas tests? If you can do it from an
IP address that also hosts a web page that explains the purpose of the
test, anyone investigating traffic coming to them is easily informed.

Thanks,
Dave
