currently, we store dns.Msg struct in the DNS response cache. In my tests, a typical response for example "A google.com" needs approx. 270 bytes. If we cache the binary representation (wire format), we'll need only 70 bytes.
This PR changes the result cache struct from dns.Msg to []byte. This avoids also copying of dns struct on one place.
