URL shortening, a new approach

The­re is an approach in URL shor­ten­ers that I have not yet seen, but think that has some merit: Store all the infor­ma­ti­on for the URLs in a DNS zone. Store the URLs you point to as TXT records. The zone can then be pul­led and per­used at will. That way, data is never stored in just one com­pa­nies data­ba­se, you can just go in an pull tho­se links that inte­rest you. If the shor­tening engi­ne then allows for user spe­ci­fic zones, you can just get to all the data you are inte­res­ted in.

The pro­to­ty­pe should not be so hard to get in shape.
