17. They could be fake lookups that code a message; server software doesn't have to use it as a DNS

If the server gets a request to respond with an address for a domain "marble.fakecompanyname.com", the server can lookup in a pre-arranged codebook or a one-time pad for the words that correspond to "marble" and "fakecompanyname". String together enough of those and you have a message. In the meantime, the server can respond with a coded address that doesn't match the requested domain or even any real address but a 32 bit number that can be looked up / decoded by the receiver. String together enough of those and you have a message. It can be a message replying to the last message. Or just empty bits until a reply message is ready.
