addressing a virtual server without a physical IP address?

[mfidelman protocoltechnologiesgroup.com]

Hi Folks,

Not really sure where to ask this question, so I'll start here.

I've been thinking of migrating our mail infrastructure to a virtual server, running in the Web3 IPFS cloud - without having a physical IP address attached to it.

But... How do I address the damned thing, and how do I publish an MX record?

I can certainly open a WebSocket or a WebTransport socket - addressable by CID, create an IPNS record to point to it, and a DNS_Link text record to resolve to it.

But that leaves me with the problem of publishing an MX record that resolves to an FQDN.

Is this a solved problem?  Or anybody have any thoughts as to how to approach it?

(And, perhaps a related question:  How might one run a Bind server behind an IPVM that has no existence anywhere except in IPFS space?)

Quandaries for the day!

Thanks,

Miles Fidelman
