Theroetically, it could. But this is as far as my knowledge goes, so I guess if you wanted to, you could just try and find out.

I do have a comment on this, though. On the connection tab of LimeWire, under the "AutoConnect Hosts" section, the default addresses are not numbers; they are urls. So, if I wanted to connect to gnutellahosts.com, you could also just find out what their IP address is and type that it manually.

It is my understanding that would lead me to the following scenario. If you set up the Dynamic DNS service, people could connect to you by typing in the name hereiam.com or whatever. But as soon as they get the real number for your computer, they connect and LW identifies your computer by its IP address. When people are downloading from you, you are still an IP address to them, not a url. So, when you change addresses, the person still cannot find you because all they have is your number and not your url.

Any DNS or specialized DNS service like hn.org are for people who want to host a web site from their computer without telling customers what their IP address is. Instead, you tell them to go to lighthouse.com or whatever. They will be directed to your computer. If that computer should crash of die, etc, a new computer in a different location can replace it by updating hn.org's records. Now whenever lighthouse.com is typed in their browser, the person will be redirected to the new computer. So it is my understanding that using hn.org would not make downloads any more successful than they already aren't.
