The problem, though, is that the DNS lookups happen in the application
layer, just like http and everything else, no?  Moreover,

most web servers are not themselves doing any routing at all.  They're
using routes to send packets or complete datagrams, but are often
themselves ignorant of routing (indeed, often that ignorance is
exploited to permit anycast).

So I doubt this gets us closer.
