Actually, not using DNS at all is another way, which is what I
was suggesting for NERD. But security is the secondary issue;
my primary issue is that it creates a potential for a circular
dependency of routing on DNS and of DNS on routing, and I don't
want Eliot to have to fly round the world rebooting the Internet
on the day that circularity bites. I am definitely not satisfied
by Eliot's rebuttal of this circularity risk.
