Ever since DNS was established people have been proposing ways to store
other data in it. It is rarely the right solution but the infrastructure
is already there. This is the usual reason for long domain names.

What is surprising is that with dynamic DNS being widely available
people haven't got obviously more aggressive at this, I think these days
the people who were proposing to put inappropriate things in the DNS are
abusing HTTP instead.
