I maybe have made this suggestion in the past, but why don't we teach
the seeder (or maybe even plain bitcoind) how to write a zone file and
then use matured DNS servers to serve this zone?
I admit I never ran my own DNS so I'm not sure if that can work -- but
to me it sounds like the easiest approach plus everyone can just use
stock server software.
