Your draft is excellent to say:
This specification is intended to address the narrow scenario
where a host needs to determine the DNS servers which are willing
to provide DNS resolution services to that host. This document
does not define any additional services.
Are there anyone who still have more bloated requirements?

And if you specify all the details of protocol changes, the only
remaining problem is autoconfiguration of multicast.
