RFIDs are unique numbers, AFAIK, which is more like an IP address, which is exactly what DNS is designed to avoid the usage of!

Euhm... the extensions are not to be used by you. Forget humans. Think machines.
Not really. Very easy to query, very easy to debug. (the magic is in the backend of the DNS server which has all the data).
I think the thing is that you don't know the problems people have ("I have this shitload of data and I need people all over the world to be able to query it, how can I do this in a distributed and efficient way?")
Sometimes you need to look further than the size of your nose;-)
I'm surprised there aren't records for 'WEB' and 'FTP' and the like.
There are three ways this has been resolved in the past and today:
- portmapper, where you ask the machine (think of it as a DNS on the machine itself for port-numbers) on which port the nfsd listens.
- hostnames: ftp.freebsd.org is the ftp-server, www.freebsd.org is the www-server. Yes, still port 21 and 80, but you can figure out which hosts to use for which protocol.
- SRV records, which you ask for a service and a domain name: _smtp._tcp.mavetju.org resolves into: _smtp._tcp.mavetju.org. : 0 0 25 tim.barnet.com.au. (try dig _smtp._tcp.mavetju.org SRV)
So as you see, the possibilities are there, now it is the applications which have to figure out how to use it.
Yet, that would only lead back to my original question. Are you going to seperate RFIDs into domains by number and then delgate them? That seems silly- imagine trying to put MAC address lookups on DNS.
RFIDs are unique numbers, AFAIK, which is more like an IP address, which is exactly what DNS is designed to avoid the usage of!
Please think of in-addr.arpa and ip6.int? It does exactly what you describe as your problem.
Furthermore: DNS is great in it's hierarchal nature- one can simply delagate domains to another server, which keeps what ever DNS is managing the root (like slashdot.org.) from getting overloaded with requests.
Actually, it's the caching nature of the records which prevent this. [no more nitpicking]
The article talks about DNS, not a specific implementation of it. Only if you won't look further than how long your nose is, you will come up with these kind of comments.

Then it says Paris to Tokyo in 2 hours! Hell no.
If it takes 7 hours (say 8 for easy math) to transport 150 people, twice as fast for 300 people (twice as much) will make it 2 hours. If it was for 150 people it would be 4 hours.

why not give it an IPv6 address

I loved ZMODEM because it got files in bigger 1024kbit chunks?
:-)
Hold your horses, zmodem only went to 8192 byte blocks. 1Mb blocks would suck if you had to wait 20 minutes for each block to be retransmitted

No. Think you have to wait till 5.3 for that.
