Thanks, Arifumi, but I don't understand your point. You have not said *why* "there is no use". I do see the rationale for stopping the comparison at the prefix length for *destination* address selection. I do not see the rationale for doing so for *source* address selection. Perhaps we need to distinguish between source address selection and source address checking. I just made up that second term :-) Source address selection is the process of choosing which source address will be used in an outgoing packet. Source address checking is the process, performed during destination address selection, of looking to see which source address *would* be selected if a given destination address were selected. My question is about the first of these two, not the second. I don't see how DNS load balancing affects the first.
