If it's important enough to do on a single relay, it's important enough to do it across the entire network. I bet there are, and will always be, plenty of exit node operators not reading this email list, or not planning to do anything, or not configuring everything properly, etc.
I was not presenting an argument for or against anything. I was merely pointing out to other FreeBSD users that a basic and generalized caching tool existed in the base system and was very easy to use. Obviously, that piece of information is irrelevant to anyone on another OS, but FreeBSD systems have it already installed, and many of their operators are likely to be unaware of it. I was running FreeBSD for four or five years before I stumbled across it myself. The system works just fine without it, but putting it into use has the potential to speed up various system functions, name-to-address resolution being one of those.
