IP Assignments for anycasting DNS
Hi, I would like to stir the waters around /subj policy proposal. When I requested additional anycast IPv4 addresses for our secondaries I was told, that RIPE cannot allocate /24 for one server according to current policies, hence I would like to see this policy proposal finished. Is there anything we can do to help finishing this proposal?

Hi Ondrej, You don't need a dedicated /24 in the global routing table for using anycast on your server. We are using anycast on our nameservers today using a single IP-address (/32) assigned from an aggregated unicast /20 at multiple locations and have had no problems with that. There was also a discussion about a certain IPv6 anycast proposal not long ago. Many of the same arguments can be used with IPv4 so I find it no good starting a new discussion about the same topic, but do as you wish.
