I don't mean to muddy the water (especially as I'm only joining the thread very late in the game), but shouldn't this be grouped under the more general heading of name service? That is to say, the files-style databases that are in the same format between protocols, services, ethers and rpc. By extension, shouldn't such a generic type/provider support all of these databases and be able to store values in any of them? To be completely accurate in this abstraction, technically /etc/hosts would also be covered (and /etc/networks).
