i'm reminded of theo deraadt's answer when asked in a /. ama about firewall on a floppy.
> I must say that I am not a fan of these floppy-based routers. Essentially, you are taking one of the most unreliable pieces of storage known to man, and trying to build security infrastructure on it. That's madness.
dns is not the foundation upon which you want to build your secure infrastructure.
I don’t know anything about the work you do, but of all distributed databases I wrangled with over the years, DNS wasn’t among them :-)
Besides, we’re not talking about secure infrastructure per se, but distributing public metadata for IP addresses. That sounds like the prime thing DNS has been invented for to me.
