Which is easily editable, and has the ability to propagate to all root
servers in a fast and timely manner, using a well-known and defined
interaction system. The root server operators will probably be happy to
ensure us that this is the fact. There is no magic here -- just ordinary
DNS. 

The ONLY magic addresses in the DNS are the root server IP addresses,
because they need to be in the hint file; the rest is nothing special.
