Thank you for this good explanation.
I disagree with one thing:

"The reason is that the use of link-local addresses for DNS resolvers is 
quite rare"

I have seen a lot of such setups.

(some LTE-Routers, fritzboxes without  Unique Local Unicast and speedports)


"For anchors and software probes, the measurement code will use whatever 
it finds in /etc/resolv.conf. So far, none of those contained link-local 
addresses."

That will be changed tonight :-)


Regards,
Thomas
