The thing is you always need DNS, to the point that I'd rather fix broken logic where I find it rather then try and use something else.

Because I'll still end up supporting DNS if I try to run something else.

Not all use of DNS is the same. If you're attempting service discovery over DNS and need a timely response on changes, any form of caching behavior that does not conform to the specs is going to cause you a headaches when you need it to work most in production.
