 Yes I think we should have an event kind that allows somebody to cryptographically bind an IP address and port (SocketAddr) to a relay's keypair.  But we would need:

1) Relays to have keypairs
2) Nostr to reference relays by keypair instead of by url
3) A means of distributing the binding event (because of the chicken-and-egg problem) maybe just blast them, or maybe a DHT.

It's a great idea for nostr2, so nostr2 won't be dependent on DNS and shoudn't need to be dependent on SSL certificates issued by CAs that nobody really trusts anyways.

 We should talk.
This is the same network design we are using at https://vaporware.network
