DNS Redirect

[Derek Balling]

I can see the usefulness for DNS zones that maybe people don't 
necessarily LIKE, adn might be forced to shut down (e.g. ORBS-style 
blacklists)...

Allows the roots to contain a consistent set that doesn't change, and 
the "authoritative" servers can point to wherever the zones are 
"today".
