There are probably more than one Harry’s Chips in the world. This ambiguity can be solved, actually. Use hash-based addresses for linking content and to resolve IPs, and use human readable dns names as bookmarks. For example: Harry’s Chips 1 has hashlink http://F00BAR1.hash Harry’s Chips 2 has hashlink http://F00BAR2.hash User goes to harrys.chips and is presented with a list of options: Harry’s Chips [5 km from you] [visited 5 times] [recommended by Your Friend] Harry’s Chips [...] That way squatters go away. Of course this is just variation on what search engines do right now, so it will never take. Too much hassle for not enough gain. But this is probably how you will end up designing any system that tries to tackle the Wild West of how DNS works right now. The added bonus is that it works very nicely with all kinds of distributed systems. On the other hand, it enables all kind of new phising attacks. Probably not more than current DNS system does, though.
