The issue with that is DNS resolution. I noticed that when I disconnect/reconnect my interface, it took >30 seconds for DNS resolution to properly resolve. Why? Because I was using a 65,000 entry host file on my modern Windows 10 machine.

It seems to only impact during NIC changes, but I VPN and was moving my computer enough that it was causing me issue.

I'd rather have a separate service to run it.

I also had a performance problem with DNS resolution with a big host file, but disbling the DNS client service helped.
