Can we make federation less dependent on domain names? (sh.itjust.works)

It looks like some issues may arise if/when an instance's domain name changes. Is there any way we can change federation so that we don't need to rely on such a central point of failure?

Irc solved this by having list servers domains that give a list of irc servers so instead of having random servers that go down you have a network of distributed servers that work together.
