The end result was that our DNS servers became unreachable even though they were still operational. This made it impossible for the rest of the internet to find our servers.
So your suggestion to map machine addresses to human-readable names is... what?
If you can limit the names to the characters a-f, i, o, s, and z then it’s possible to do so with IPv6 addresses natively. (which you can’t do in IPv4). (o=0, i=1, s=5, and z=2) I’m not saying this is a good idea, but it is possible. There are a large number of english words that can be spelled with just those 9 characters. Owen
