Isn't that what a static mapping file accomplishes? Not a good
longer-term solution, but buys the ability to explore the problem space.
Eg, there could be DNSSEC-signed records in DNS saying "this string is
equivalent for TOR". If DNS is routed over TOR then the object signing
gives you that assurance. You get privacy and assurance. DNSSEC means
you no longer need to care how you get the responses, provided that
there's a DS trust chain down to the result you want.
So spitballing wildly, `_tor_https.example.org` as a set of TXT records
could provide one domain each which are equivalent.
