Hi, I can't comment on whether this suggestion makes sense for these overlay networks, but it may be one way of handling these non-DNS resolving but still use HTTPS/TCP "IN" type things.
I expect that Hellekin, C Grothoff, and others (TOR, namecoin, ...) would be best placed to comment. There is still the time challenge for the certificate work. Thanks for your suggestion, manning. Hugo Connery -- Head of IT, DTU Environment, http://www.env.dtu.dk what the internet should be doing is defining escape mechanisms for non-internet systems, rather than saying "we are the only thing you can use".

Actually, there IS an escape method already defined. We just don’t use it much these days. It’s called “class” There is no reason these alternate namespaces should sit in the IN class. they could/should be in their own class, like the old CHAOS protocols. So a class “ONION” or “P2P” would work out very nicely. After all it’s the Domain Name System.
