RE: Multihoming by IP Layer Address Rewriting (MILAR)

[Ramakrishna Gummadi <ramki@cs.berkeley.edu>]

An article (http://www.menandmice.com/6000/61_recent_survey.html) says
78.5% of .com zones are misconfigured, with problems ranging from lame
delegations to non-responding authoritative name servers to incorrect
match between delegation data and zone data.

I don't think that we should create a dependency between routing (even if
it is for multihoming) and DNS that can be hurt by these kinds of
misconfigurations, even if we assume that every internet device is
required (which I think is impossible to do for various reasons,
including non-technical) to be hosted in DNS.
