Hello, and welcome to DNS

Label compression is pretty common, I think all of the big name server implementations do it by default. Amazon Route 53 definitely does it - I wrote the code! But my favorite thing about DNS label compression is probably this quote from DJB's code where he implemented it ...

Yeah, label compression is very much in use. It is annoying though, it’s one of the slower pieces during serialization.
