Routing wars pending?

Absolutely agree  with both Robert and Vadim that DNS need to be revised
in a big way.  I especially would like to see the MX record concept 
applied to information services (IX maybe), i.e.

foo.bar.org.	IN	A	198.133.151.19
			IX  10	fooU2.bar.org.
			IX  20	foo2U2.bar.org.
			IX  30	whoU2.maybe.com.
			IX  40	tryMe2.friendly.com.

www.bar.org.	IN	CNAME	foo.bar.org.

Has this simple concept been proposed in an IETF draft unknown to
us ugly ducklings :-)

Quack.
