Right, so this approach adds a whole new set of boxes that can mess up your routing system.

One can do the same kind of thing with the DHCP approach (use SO_REUSEPORT or whatever and tie the DHCP mini server to the DNS server). The point was just that exactly the same considerations apply to the anycast proposal as apply to other proposals. I have to admit that I also find it kind of amusing that this of all WGs seems to be proposing to move service location functionality out of the edge systems and into the network core. -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
