You're asking a "what if" for a usage case that nobody sane has suggested.

If you are saying it's insane to use DNS to manage frequently
changing locations of mobile hosts instead of relying on
immobile home agents, I fully agree with you.

Non sequitur.

Mobile root DNS servers are what is insane,  because the queries must
terminate somewhere, and ultimately there must be something that
doesn't have a circular dependency -- requiring working DNS to get
DNS.

As for using DNS to manage frequently changing locations of mobile hosts,
DNS is almost perfect for that -- it's just the sort of thing DNS is
designed for,
depending on how frequent you mean by "frequently changing".
