It would be nice to be able to make authoritative & recursive queries on a single port.
When getting a TLD's DS record(s) it is nice to be able to make an authoritative query so you know for sure the data returned has come from the blockchain itself. Authoritative dns querying is effectively a DNS API directly to the blockchain.
Both bind and dnsdist support splitting authoritative & recursive queries based on the RD flag, i.e. RD=1 = recursive & RD=0 = authoritative.
Seems to me this is a relative trivial change, tho i would imagine it should use a third port so the current functionality is retained.
