(if you're not requiring to add caching as MUST or SHOULD, I don't
care, but) such an environment will cause other performance issues as
well. I guess you cannot convince others to make an additional
requirement just by warring about a special case.
BTW (this is almost an off-topic though): one of practical examples of
this is a heavily busy DNS server. However, the source address
selection does not matter at least for a widely used implementation,
BIND. It explicitly specifies the source address to make it sure that
the query's destination address equals to the reply's source address.

If you're not requiring anything, I'm just fine. I made comments here
because you actually seemed to require caching in the address
selection draft. And, it seems to me that's why others objected to
your messages (at least to some extent) in this list.
I don't see the need for the additional consideration in the
Implementation Considerations section either, but I don't oppose to
mentioning this there. Considering implication much is in general a
good thing. Perhaps this is up to the author (who have not appeared
in this thread...).
