Well, a DNS-Over-Freenet is being developed.  It's called 'Freenet
Name Service' (FNS).  It's not so much a replacement for DNS
as it is a restructuring of the system. 

The current DNS system is tree-structured, which requires
centralized control (often authoritarian).  FNS restructures
it into a peer-structure, thus removing the technical limitation
which allows for authoritarian control.  FNS aims to be able to be
dropped into any existing network without modifying existing
clients.  At some point, I plan on making a library so that you
can accsess the FNS namespace directly in your client.

It was also discussed that domains that exist as part of FNS
only should use .free.
