Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/hickory-dns/hickory-dns/issues/368

Currently the default configuration is to use Google. See: https://medium.com/@nykolas.z/dns-resolvers-performance-compared-cloudflare-x-google-x-quad9-x-opendns-149e803734e5

Also, if we start including latency measurements in the NameServerPool then we can even have all registered, and incorporate latency into the decision on ranking each to the top.

I'm considering running trust-dns myself (for DNS over TLS), but I don't have much experience with configuring DNS servers.

Currently the default configuration is to use Google.

Looking at https://github.com/bluejekyll/trust-dns/tree/master/server/tests/named_test_configs, I didn't see any sample config that uses Google. Can you nudge me a little in the right direction for the simplest possible setup (e.g. a localhost-only recursive server pointing to Cloudflare or whatever)?
