Atomic multi-record updates? How about just a log which is processed
asynchronously? Why in the world would this have to be kept in perfect
sync in real-time?

And, that said, do the main dns servers keep log files? Seems that'd
be similar.

Besides, all you're saying is that it'd probably take more computrons
to run an e-postage system, given various assumptions about how it
might work, than the current dns system does. Ok. But there still are
many similarities, particularly in distribution and scale and need for
organization.

Anyhow, that's very different than showing that too many computrons
are required to be reasonable.

$1,000 computers are today over 1,000 x as fast as $1,000,000
computers were when DNS was designed.
