Besides the hard-coded cache, shouldn't DNS infrastructure already help with the caching just by the TTL value itself? Given quite many & large public DNS resolvers out there, like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 and Google's 8.8.8.8

I overall like the DNS, it is a global database with eventual consistency. Possible to store transient data. Usually not blocked by firewalls just by the sheer innocent nature. (Although gets intercepted quite a lot...)
