This thread has documented some of the reasons why the authors decided to 
develop DDT instead of re-using DNS (documented in LISP-TREE).  In addition to 
these, the DDT authors felt that operational experience with LISP+ALT (which 
re-used BGP and GRE for distributing EID Prefixes) showed that re-using another 
protocol, while inheriting many useful features, also brought in many un-needed 
features which added bloat to the implementation and operational complexity to 
the network.

Other mapping systems have been explored before with LISP, to various levels of 
maturity.  (EMACS, CONS, etc).  Its my understanding that the LISP-TREE draft 
will be updated to reflect the work done to date, which should include the 
limitations of this approach.

All are welcome to contribute to the Open Source LISP (the scope of which 
includes the mapping system) effort.  More information can be found at 
http://www.openlisp.org/).
