No - that's pretty much the only situation where you have a technical
requirement to hardcode IP address, and there's basically no way of getting
around it.
Besides, it's completely different to having a requirement that all locally
connected machines should by default send all of their DNS requests to a
specific address. You're talking about a situation which affects only DNS
resolvers. I'm talking about something which affects all end-user nodes in
the world. i.e. much messier problem on a completely different scale.
