Yes, DNS is centralized. Thus the ICANN mess.

I don't know of a way to decentralize DNS because of Zooko's triangle. 
The proposals I've heard are quite heavyweight. Nevertheless, I think it 
is pretty clear that having one central point of failure for the 
Internet is "enough". A second one would have to add value comparable to 
the domain name system and UDDI demonstrably doesn't.
