I think one definitely have to start to use the tools that exists in terms
of SRV records in DNS to be able to find the whois and/or http server for
a specific domain, and more explicitely the TLDs and SLDs we are talking
about.

One can have the names suggested _aswell_ but it is time to stop
"guessing" the hostnames for a specific service within a domain.

The idea is generally good -- I am only talking about the implementation!
