This would be a bad way to implement it. You don't want to override queries to
other DNS servers, but it would be very easy to create an anycast address that
is served by the satellites.
Yes, and the later is what I proposed, the idea of intercepting
someone ELSE'S anycast address and processing it would be
wrong in many ways, in effect a Man In the Middle attack
as stated else where.
I was assuming that it would be done in coordination with the existing user, not
as a stealth optimization. I should have made that clear.
