Would it make sense for the Foundation to own a domain (freedomboxes.org or
something like that) and hand out subdomains for dynamic DNS usage, but
delegate running the service to someone helpful?  If people make sure the
user lists are regularly exported to the Foundation for "escrow" or some
such, then it would be possible to switch providers as necessary.

I am already running a globally distributed dynamic DNS for PageKite (based
on redis, python glue and PowerDNS), I would be quite willing to donate
resources to help out with this, especially during the early stages while
traffic can be expected to be low/moderate.

I'm sure others would be willing to help as well. :-)
