  You can set up a server listening to port 53 that will return the corresponding entry from a "hosts file" if you query it for an A record. To avoid the file growing uncomfortably big, it can be split up amongst hierarchically arranged servers.

    How would you call this hypothetical system? It’s almost like a distributed system for looking up names.

      An RFC might have been submitted for this already, let me check!
