That's a LOT of people to whack on the side of the head.  And it pretty
much has to be done in meatspace; the net doesn't help you out with this

Yes they would.  But basically everyone can assume that this is Somebody
Else's Problem.  You want to make it the problem for the network admins,
sysadmins, users, application writers, and firewall vendors to solve. 
Those people  want to make it the problem for the carrier ISPs and
router vendors to solve.

And really, fixing the routing system so that it can provide stable
global PI addresses to everyone (say, via something LISP-like) might be
easier...especially that the need to renumber isn't the only problem
that lack of stable global PI addresses causes.

I don't work there any more, so it's Somebody Else's Problem.  :)

And really, there's no way I'd trust DNS to do this.  I've spent too
many years watching it break.
