Keep in mind that the zone files and various lists are only being used
for human reference.  When you configure DNS service on your computer,
you are entering an IP address directly.  It would certainly make
everyone's life much easier if there were a method for using hostnames
for your DNS entries... however since you need dns working to look up
the hostnames, you get into a catch-22 situation.

If someone were to write a Windows service that periodically updated the
computer's DNS entries based on the information we provide, then having
rapid updates to server status would be more useful.  It would be a
simple matter for me to add country-based entries to the zone file that
only list the servers which are currently functional, then users could
simply pick which list they want to use as their pool, and their
computer could automatically be kept up to date with the appropriate
information.  THIS is something that I think would really make us stand
out ahead of other alternate DNS services, because then no-one should
have any issues with name resolution despite the rotating pool of public
servers.

What is is with this one:

If I understand the description, it automate this process, or not?
