Maybe these oddball DNS names should "include" the callsign somewhere.
I do personally know of an instance in 2005/2006 where there were some
non-amateur servers in North America using 44 addresses!
Perhaps in the US, I don't know, I'm from the UK, not every country has such
licence requirements. Have you looked at the ampr.org hosts file recently?
There are a lot of A records mapping 44/8 IPs that are clearly not based on
callsigns.
We are also allocating subnets out to people experimenting with BGP
announcements and other projects that will require more flexible arrangements.

the DNS functionality is a separate module and is not
tied to the name of
the IP/subnet, not everyone uses their callsign as the DNS name
But that is a license requirement! We need a mapping between IP address
and callsign for legal use of IP on amateur radio....
