RFC 3258 gave another reason why anycast will work for a set of name servers widely spreaded (such as in Karrenberg's proposal to anycast k.root-servers.net): The second is that the aim of this proposal is to diversify topological placement; for most users, this means that the coordination of placement will ensure that new instances of a name server will be at a significantly different cost metric from existing instances. Some set of users may end up in the middle, but that should be relatively rare. #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
