If I understand your proposal correctly, the idea is to look up the
domain and get a list of IP addresses back. When you provide dialup
access via several different companies, your list of IPs that are
allowed to relay gets huge. Getting that back via DNS seems inherently
nasty to me.
A point I brought up (and one of the reasons I tossed my own OX
proposal in the trash months ago, which was, essentially, the same
thing).
Any proposal which ends up - for large sites[1] - costing them DNS
resources as they constantly have to fallback to TCP for the long
answers, is doomed to failure as "dead on the vine".
I've seen a couple other proposals, and am waiting impatiently for
authors of such to bring them forward for public review, which
hopefully will happen any day now.
