This could also provide robustness in the DNS system for the following reasons:
1. Encrypted Traffic is harder to spoof
2. The resolver can reduce the load on DNS servers by providing caching functionality.
DNCCrypt can also be used to get around domain name censorship. For instance if the country you are in is blocking the DNS address for a given domain name, you could in theory obtain the IP Address by using a DNS Server in the country where the content is being hosted. Of course for complete privacy one would need to tunnel traffic through either a VPN or Tor, since an IP packet contains the source and destination (See Wikipedia articles: IPv4 & IPv6) your ip traffic could be sniffed by intermediate servers.
