Is there a mechanism in DNS to communicate this kind of policy?  As I 
understand the example below, the communication from hub-gw to spoke32 would be 
something like: "to get to 192.168.79.0/24, go to spoke79."

So, okay, so you want to do new work to replace work that's already been well 
defined, that uses DNS as the transport.
