Interesting idea.

If I understand correctly, let’s say a popular CDN was no longer maintained and the domain expired, eg popularcdn.com - you’re looking for a way to use a dns record lookup to verify that the domain (and cdn) is still controlled by who you think it is?

I guess for scripts this can be dealt with using integrity hashes but that’s version specific. So this would be a security check at a domain level?

I guess the hard part would be that any CDN hijacker could copy the DNS TXT record when they hijack it.
