>"There's other abstract concerns though- having multiple short-lived connections in your OS and routing tables consumes resources- minimizing resource consumption is a decent goal." I'm not understanding this. Your OS's network stack would just see these destinations as not being part of the local network and send these UDP packets to the configured default route. Why would there be a need to create a route?
