Thats right. That's why I debunk them. The lying children call me names. They really hate it when you debunk their fallacies.
<sigh> I personally evaluate individual posters with the following in mind: the more an individual has been willing to publicly assert things which I know to not be true, the less credit I give that individual's opinions with regard to things about which I am not an expert. The converse is true as well. Dean has weighed in on topics such as router architecture and the ubiquitousness of packet-based-load-balancing in backbone networks, and been thoroughly wrong. Lots of people demonstrated his wrongness in these things, so I feel no need to recap. I have no connection to ISC, and have no personal axe to grind. David Barak Need Geek Rock?

I never said that PPLB is ubiquitous (widely used--for those not so used to big words). I said that it is possible to see it. And that if you see it, it will not work with anycast TCP DNS. Second, the router architecture issue about whether PPLB was possible on certain routers. It is possible on a great number of routers. But there are some details I missed. Please don't put (wrong) words in my mouth, and then say I'm wrong. --Dean -- Av8 Internet Prepared to pay a premium for better service? www.av8.net faster, more reliable, better service 617 344 9000
