The only real solutiuon to the present and future DNS woes is to replace

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.
