3..

Remember...

madmail.ods.org


Hitting it straight, your DNS query will tell you where ods.org is, then
you must query ods.org where the hell madmail is..

So using Drummonds or Littles setup, you introduce that 3rd step.

BFD.. Seems that extra drudgery has a bigger effect on those who choose to
use it as opposed to nodelisted info.

Well good, then I expect that you will drop such terms as
"connect" from your arguments.
