Being able to run tests on the DNS handling code is an important part of comprehensive unit testing prior to a release.  Sometimes it's necessary to run such tests on a machine without Internet access.  Thus, being able to force data into the resolver that later queries will retrieve is an exceedingly useful notion.  If the resolver has a cache, this is just the ability to go about having a test harness prime the cache before issuing queries.

This seems like a reasonable advanced feature.
