mornin' joao,
OK, so I guess my point altogether is that I dislike special-ness. There seems to be agreement that DNS anycasting is here to stay and it's special enough to require special policy. i.e. one does not have to like consistency to dislike specialness. one tries to limit it to the minimum.
so, in this case, would that be o only tlds can get this specialness o only dns services can get this specialness o any anycasting services can get this specialness o any services which can justify address space get the space (which is what we theoretically have today)?
Dunno, you will have to ask the wg. What is your take on it? On a separate issue, your 3rd bullet point: are there any more results from your study on the routing of anycasted services? Some people are telling they are OK with using anycast for TCP and I am certainly curious. Joao
