Thanks for the insight; indexing the entire web is not a goal of dindex. Instead, it's designed to work like DNS where you can host your own server + have it federate queries to other servers if it doesn't have records which match a query.
Basically it moves control to the client; if the client wants to query servers across the globe there's nothing stopping them, but by default you only query servers in your config file. Organizations like the new york times, universities, and governments would host servers for the same reason they host their own email infrastructure.
It also moves a ton of control to publishers; dindex doesn't crawl the web unless a client explicitly wants to.
