No, the point is that DNS resolvers in different places all use the same

Because no one has ever had a need to coexist with other DNS servers on the same subnet, right? After all, there should only ever be 1 authorative source of information, and there's no way we would ever want to have an exception for that.
Why do they have to be mutually exclusive? What's wrong with having default well known (potentially anycasted) resolver addresses, which can then be overridden by RA/DHCP/static configuration? ~Matt
