Great article by Paul Vixie, What the DNS is Not http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1647302 In the technical community we have been talking for years about how the DNS is being used for something it was not intended for and how monetization of names and certain uses of the DNS is mostly based on smoke and mirrors which in the long term may produce another exploding ball. On the other hand there are some of us (me included) that believe that since there is so much money involved in today's domain name business, any new technology or architecture to create a global directory or a better scheme for resource naming and location will find tremendous resistance from the market.
