If the DNS doesn't work, then you can't use it to find the contact for
the zone.

I understand the concern, but I'm afraid that your mechanism doesn't

slurps all the DNS records in the world and allows searches, at which
point your desire is not met and we also have the operational
difficulties I mentioned.
