One thing I have been pondering is multi-target aliases. (But I haven't posted about it here because I don't think the suggestion will get very far!) Multi-aliases would be useful in some situations when I would like to be able to model systems at a higher level, for things like mx.cam.ac.uk which is a round-robin alias for addresses hosted on several servers.

There are fun problems like a billion laughs attack on resolvers that try to chase down ANAME/CNAME chains to the ultimate target addresses...
