The only "secure" solution that we could deploy uses large numbers
instead of names, where the number is essentially a hash of a
self-signed certificate. That works, for some definition of working: if
you know what number to retrieve, you will get an authoritative answer.
But that means using large numbers instead of short friendly names, and
thus is not very "user-friendly".

Another alternative is to use local relative names instead of global
names, as in the Unmanaged Internet Architecture.
