I find the extra SECONDS, not ms, that it takes when things don't resolve, especially when it's an IOS typo command that IOS tries to turn into a host name for telnet, for example to be far more annoying than the numeric (which is usually what I want if I'm on a router or looking glass anyway) output in trace routes.

This whole DNS thing on a router discussion is funny.
I can use DNS to figure out an area for the IP in question...
I can enter said IP into a separate query afterwards to find an area in question...
Which is faster for finding the info I am looking for? Be realistic.
I have used DNS in my routers and switches since IOS supported such. Funny, so has Doug :)
Sure, you can add latency to your output but it doesn't slow the packets down, and I sure as hell cannot memorize the Internet to figure out which city I am in or which provider I'm crossing.
That extra few ms here and there still outruns copy/paste click submit every time.
Perhaps a company could run dedicatd nameservers for their networking gear, or just run better nameservers on their infrastructure. Yah, i know that sounds condescending but I don't know a better way to phrase this this morning.
