In general you are right. I had something like a CDN in mind. Here the initial delay from the dns lookup will have only a small impact on the general performance. When having all webservers in one region and deploying only nameservers anycasted the performance, in my opinion, will not increase much.

This isn't an accident. Of course. From the initial question I was not thinking into TLD/ccTLD, where load balancing an terminating bogus traffic near the origin is important, as various papers show. cheers, Florian _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations dns-jobs mailing list https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-jobs
