This is already there. Some regions and amateurs do run their own DNS. I don't think it is that great, because it makes it impossible to simply transfer the entire DNS zone to a local server and have faster DNS lookups independent of an internet connection. But it works, I guess...
IMHO it would be better to offer a DNS update API, where everyone can update their own host records in an easily automated way. It of course exists in the form of the mail robot and also the web DNS editor but apparently some people think it is not good enough. (I use the mail robot myself as part of an automated update)

Just thought of this this morning, and was wondering if we could have a DNS delegation system for hams off of ampr.org or another domain name?
Something like:
af7sj.ampr.org ns myprimary.dns.server af7sj.ampr.org ns mysecondary.dns.server
In my ideal deal world there would be a .radio TLD... or a .44net tld... But would it make sense to offer any ham out there a DNS subdomain based on their call? For those that want to limit access that could also become part of their checks, i.e. does the forward and backward DNS resolve to a subdomain.ampr.org domain?
