This works just fine if you define a new DNS record type that means
"pointer to URN resolution service". Then your "parent" in OID space
defines that type of record to point to your resolution server,
instead of an NS record.

It's very similar to a wildcard MX record. You don't have to register
an MX record for foo.bar.com to accept mail for foo.bar.com. An MX
record for *.bar.com is sufficient.
