I neglected to say one additional thing which I think may be worth reading before replying. I have always held the opinion that internet traffic isn't internet traffic until it hits the Internet, which I defined as two or more autonomous systems functioning on their own but possessing the ability to relay information between the two. I'm pretty sure that if you have a single network, you couldn't label it "inter" unless "inter" was between yourself - and then you have a network.. Not an internetwork.
I suspect that, to a first approximation, "traffic which passes through the edge of at least one AS" is probably what most people think of as 'Internet' traffic. As for your DNS question: the interior query isn't, per-se, but the repeated one from your resolver/proxy *is*. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
