 I’m not entirely sure. How much does wss rely on DNS? Would assigning a npub to mint and then using wss as the transport medium by a work around using DNS? I need to better understand how these work together.

 Wss also rely on dns, the nostr advantage is that notes go to many relays, blocking on relay wont do anything, so your wallet and mint won't have one domain as a single point of failure.

 Oh! didn’t think about this for redundancy. so mints should use multiple relays to advertise their new hostname. 
thanks. cool.

 whenever a hostname has to be translated into an IP, DNS is involved.
