Whoa. This is a pretty bad idea.
If the SWIFT blockade is equivalent to disconnecting Russia from the Internet, this is more like ordering banks to simply delete Russian accounts. Not freezing or closing them or even confiscating their balances, but just deleting them.
There are punitive measures that aren't worth the damage they would do to global institutions and infrastructure, regardless of how much pressure they put on Russia. Forking DNS would fall into that category.
