People add tricks to DNS when DNS does not fit their needs. However, my customers complained about the difficulties of deploying their DNS on multiple platforms with different DNS tricks (GeoDNS for example) or switching from one another.
I agree with Joe. DNS is a layer of indirection. If one indirection can not solve the problem in a good manner, another indirection is needed. If we do it in resolver like Paul suggest, another indirection protocol should be introduced. You can name it anything other than "DNS"... > Names as a layer of indirection between applications and addresses > represent dynamic data by design, and the idea that the manner by which > that data can be managed must be rigidly constrained seems unnecessary and > a bit out of touch with reality.
