Greetings again. The map and lists at <http://www.root-servers.org/index.html> have a lot of data that would be valuable to analyze, particularly how close recursives are to root nodes (even if that's just geographic/political closeness). RSSAC is just getting started with publishing reports, and anycast location and proliferation has not been covered in the reports covered so far.

Has anyone (maybe DNS-OARC?) kept snapshots of this type of data? Any clues 
would be appreciated.

For the AS112 project I have used the open resolver data to try and 'count' the number of anycast nodes by unique instances. It would probably be one more step to infer location - But I'd need to rely on people taking the advice found in RFC6304 to state their location via the TXT record. The end-goal of the effort is two-fold:

- how many AS112 servers there are
- where are they and how close are they to each other.

The latter would be an educated guess based on the data. But I think this is what you are after as well.

Wasn't there a draft in DNSOP which would also make anycast nodes more easily identifiable?
