The only real solutiuon to the present and future DNS woes is to replace it with the hyperlinks, portals, address books and search engines - and _no_ human-readable names. This effectively creates as many "roots" as there are users. My "John Doe" is not the same as your "John Doe" :)
For some reason, I can't see CNN broadcasting "Come visit our website, at 207.25.71.27 or 207.25.71.28 or 207.25.71.29 or 207.25.71.30 or 207.25.71.5 or 207.25.71.6 or 207.25.71.20 or 207.25.71.22 or 207.25.71.23 or 207.25.71.24 or or 207.25.71.25 or 207.25.71.26". Not to mention the fact that IPv6 will make that even uglier.
I *like* DNS. Abolishing it would be akin to, say, removing the UNIX path environment variable and all aliasing/symlinking support from the kernel.
