believe so. Is the cost of changing DNS and host stacks worth it: I
honestly do not know.
The problem with DNS for this purpose is as Brian pointed out some
weeks (months?) ago - you create circular dependencies.
But as we discussed in the thread which followed that observation,
circular dependencies can be managed (e.g. by way of a bootstrap
procedure). So the fact that a circular dependency might exist does not
necessarily indicate a dead end.
