Can someone please address two issues for me with examples before we
walk primly down the DNS path?

1) How do us corporate geeks behind corporate firewalls that do NOT
pass DNS queries through handle using DNS for this?

2) How do entries actually get _submitted_. Not propagated, that's
blatantly obviously, but SUBMITTED in a reasonable labor-free
manner?

The first is much more important than the second. There's a crapload
of cases where corporate firewalls don't pass DNS and I have yet to
see anyone logically address it. Until then, I'd rather stick with
HTTP. At least everyone can _use_ http.
