DNS Prefetching Implications
"For the most part, I'm not sure why you're too concerned with prefetching--it's not a bad thing, and only a good thing."
But his whole article is about how prefetching can be bad on the provider side. So while it's good for the user, it created a DNS mess. I get how it would speed up things for the user if and when they choose to click on one of the links where the FQDN was prefetched... but if 100 FQDN's are prefetched and the user only ultimately clicks on 1 of them, then couldn't the other 99 be considered a waste of network resources?
