gossip means you can find things via other means, if the relays all had a dht with alexs new relay address you could just ask any relay

If the relays banned Alex wouldn't they ban the redirect to his new relay?

you can query the dht from another relay

So you would try random relays until you find it? The hypothetical is that you're only explicitly connected to the top 10 relays and they all ban someone.

point is you likely could try a few other random relays and they would have the info to find alexs new relay, you are less likely to try randoms and find alex again without it, a dht helps with scaling too its not just for this

another solution is you store your relays on a file at your domain for nip5, relays could delete your kind0 linking to the domain tho
