The problem isn't the DNS, but the concept of 'stable locators'. Given the need to aggregate, you simply can't have stability in locators if network topology changes. Since locators need to change when topology changes, any solution you come up with will need to deal with propagation delay and security while at the same time dealing with scalability and performance. I would argue that the DNS can be contorted to deal with these requirements (although whether or not you'd want to is another question).If we achieve stable locators, this problem largely goes away, but stable names in themselves are insufficient IMHO.
