+[CJDNS](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns) - CJDNS == CJD's Network
+Suite. it does not contain a ddns system yet. it currently uses plain
+old DNS within the darknet. <s>True DNS (i.e., port 53/UDP) with a DHT.
+I've played around with it a little and it seems to do what it says on
+the tin.</s>

+[Distributed Hash Table
+(DHT)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table) - Wikipeda
+page on DHTs. Has a decent overview of how they work.
+
+[Bamboo DHT](http://www.bamboo-dht.org/) - A DHT implementation in Java.
+
+[UpRight](http://code.google.com/p/upright/) - A library for building
+fault-tolerant distributed systems. Incorporates innovations from modern
+solutions to Byzantine fault tolerance.
+
+[Gossip
+Protocols](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Gossip_protocol):
+Nodes in a network pseudorandomly select peers to exchange information
+with. Could be useful for distributing the contents of a DHT-based DNS
+implementation within a mesh network.
+[Kademlia](https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Kademlia) has
+an interesting way of handling the entry distribution problem. When
+inserting an entry, it iterates through the table to find suitable nodes
+in the network to hold that entry and propagates it to them as well as
+saving a copy locally.

+[CoDoNS
+paper](http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2004/papers/p292-ramasubramanian1111.pdf) -
+A very good paper from 2004 on a distributed DNS alternative. It still
+relies on centralized domain name registration. [CoDoNS main
+page](http://www.cs.cornell.edu/people/egs/beehive/codons.php) - It
+appears that CoDoNS is operational and running on PlanetLab.
+Unfortunately, I don't see any code. I see no reason why we can't simply
+hijack their design.

+and the way names are resolved."
