LISP-TREE is the DNS-based system.

That is not how DNS works; DNS allows caching (at the users) of intermediate
nodes in the resolution hierarchy. That's how you get single-RTT lookups in
most cases - with decent fan-out in the hierarchy, the intermediate nodes are
cached by the end-users (ITRs in this case).

Seems to work now - things in google.com get a zillion hits.
