I've begun to propose an alternative to DNS/DANE, the PERSPECTIVES project from CMU, in version 01 of the problem statement: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-malbrain-tls-strong-authentication.
 
Have you considered what changes to the DNS system would address your concerns?  I've proposed encrypted and authenticated connections in another thread.

I believe that anything based on DNS is the wrong way forward if your
problem statement involve well funded adversaries.  I think DNS-based
distribution of keying material is a good way to simplify and bootstrap
opportunistic encrypted channels, however, it would not provide strong
authentication in the way that I would like to define it.
