this requires a full data fetch, not doable in dns.

and, at the other end of the spectrum, for any dynamic lookup on
receiving a bgp announcement, the data had best be already in the
router.  a full data set on an in-rack cache will go nuts on any
significant bgp load.  beyond that, you are in non-op space.
