"The hyperlink URL text could contain a secure hash of the gimp.org home page. Or a revision number and the hash of a public key used to sign gimp.org home page revisions."
That would help to make sure you got the right page, but wouldn't help you find it.
Your other suggestions (e.g. a list of IP addresses/ports) are basically just reimplementing DNS, but with more complexity. :-)
