Ultimately that is the biggest problem. We can't even get network
operators to allow ICMP packets without them scrutinizing every packet that
comes across the wire as a threat. Among other topics...
One idea for a framework however would be to use something like Consul to
do service discovery and post it on said website/directory. That way it's
not multicast in nature, anyone can join it's cluster and in fact would
make the service more resilient, it can provide DNS features dynamically as
well as a key/value store for inserting/distributing information.
