Thank you very much, but no.

DNS (and DNSSEC) relies on working IP transport for its operation.

Now you effectively propose to make routing (and so operation of IP
transport) dependent on DNS(SEC).

Am I the only one who sees the problem?

PS. The only sane method for routing info validation I've seen so far is
    the plain old public-key crypto signatures.
