Hi Felix,

Doesn't this describe what Guix already does? If not, how?
I don't understand the 'like DNS' part, though, so maybe that's where it differs. Do you mean substitute a different protocol for HTTP?
We already use a single TCP connection per server for all narinfo queries, and nars found on one server aren't queried again.
Kind regards,
T G-R
