As I said in an earlier post, I still feel GSE requires a mapping system like other separation schemes. The mapping is just in the DNS record. If an edge site stopped using the RG provider specified in the DNS record, it must update its authoritative servers to map itself to a new RG that IS one of its current providers. This is a mapping change.
