I really, really dislike the backwards-to-paths nature of dns. It's not like Unix and other hierarchical file systems didn't exist in 1983. So let's reverse it, and use paths.

# dns
releases.lists.refs.ipfs.io

# snd
ipfs.io/refs/lists/releases
cat /snd/ipfs.io/refs/lists/releases
curl fs://snd/ipfs.io/refs/lists/releases

For all this, we need:

  • an snd resolver that uses dns
  • an HTTP server that serves snd lookups
  • a FUSE filesystem that mounts snd
  • the fs:// standard and handler

This will help with "the DNS web".
