Hi WG. We at MCI are requesting a /24 PI-range to use for an anycast service (DNS) but the request has been rejected in accordance to the current assignment policy. We need PI-space belonging to a separate AS so we can't use existing MCI space. The need for this range is if course routing reasons which is prohibited by the policy. I've been reading Andreas Baess e-mail on this issue and I hope this issue will be addressed on the RIPE 50 and rule in favour of changing the policy. I don't judge on the routability aspects but more on the fact that we need a change in the policy to accomodate a setup for anycast services. Myself I can't attend the WG meeting on Thursday 5/5 due to other engagements so this e-mail is my support for the proposal.
