Neither DNS nor NTP would do the job; neither was intended to transfer records
as large as we're talking about. For something "similar to" these protocols,
but designed to transfer files of the size we're discussing, it starts to
look a lot like Usenet or a P2P network, which is why the discussion on this
topic has focused on those two options so far.
