Absolutely agree with both Robert and Vadim that DNS need to be revised in a big way. I especially would like to see the MX record concept applied to information services (IX maybe), i.e. foo.bar.org. IN A 198.133.151.19 IX 10 fooU2.bar.org. IX 20 foo2U2.bar.org. IX 30 whoU2.maybe.com. IX 40 tryMe2.friendly.com. www.bar.org. IN CNAME foo.bar.org. Has this simple concept been proposed in an IETF draft unknown to us ugly ducklings :-) Quack.
