Your 8th has an address right? Let's say you want to connect with `naddr1abc`. As part of the `naddr` whoever sent you that link had to insert the `wss://ip4` as the `relay` field inside the naddr. This means that even if you have never seen this relay before, you have a base IP to connect and start the work.
But keep in mind that NNS are designed to be broadcasted just like NIP-65 events are. They should be everywhere. But if they are not, you can always have a base IP from the latest relay hints in the events you already have.

Relay hints are a horrible foundation to rely on. Once again, we are just headed in seriously different directions. Good luck to you and your mutable world.

This.
I don't disagree they are a horrible foundation. But you can't say they are NOT working. They work really well.
There are lots of things on Nostr that don't make any sense. And yet they work.

broadcast
BTW, I trully look forward to your proposal. I just hope it's not something that takes too long to code or that just re-centralizes them into another trusted infrastructure.
