This statement simply is wrong. The DNS functions just fine.
It has a number of difference 'schemas' for defining and assinging names and
some of THEM don't scale well. This is not a problem with the DNS. It is a
problem with information administration.
And no, I'm not nit-picking. I think it's important to be very clear about
what problem needs to be solved and that it helps to label it properly.
