Publishing information via DNS

[Kelly Jones]

Has anyone tried publishing non-DNS information via DNS? Advantages:

 % Automatic distributed caching on various nameservers.

 % UDP, so no TCP overhead

I know SPF uses this, and clamav publishes their current version
number this way, but has anyone done this on a large scale basis?
