It's rather a matter of focus. Your focus in on small enterprise where simple location service may work just fine (LAN, an admin that will fix network issues ASAP etc.) My focus is on Internet as a highly unreliable environment with no easy way to fix problems. There, DNS-style approach is more appropriate IMO.
