While not on a USPS scale there are companies that offer this service. A lot of sailers and expats use these types of services. Works great and lets you move around as you please and get your mail/packages forwarded to where you are or where you are heading next. Adds time and cost to all your deliveries, but it is a service available now.

Aren't these more like proxy servers than DNS? In particular, doesn't all of your mail have to physically pass through these services, instead of the post office just using them to look up the final destination directly?

Fair. I think of proxy servers more as filters though and not mail stops. Usually these companies don't act as your filter, just a mail stop on the way to you.

Can you suggest some? Another commenter mentioned http://physicaladdress.com which seems nice but I’m curious what options are out there

Some other options are Earth Class Mail (https://www.earthclassmail.com/) and Traveling Mailbox (https://travelingmailbox.com/).
