Let me inform you of an exciting new concept... Anycast DNS... It is not difficult... Get with the freaking program...
* Michael.Dillon@radianz.com (Michael.Dillon@radianz.com) [Thu 14 Apr 2005, 12:03 CEST]:
Are you suggesting that network operators should supply their customers with recursive DNS services by operating DNS servers on their network which share the same anycast addresses as the recursive DNS servers on other networks?
Or are you suggesting that a network operator should set up anycast internal to their network so that all of their recursive DNS servers share the same IP address?
I'd like to hear some more detail on this.
Michael, put down the crackpipe already, will you? *Of course* the previous (unattributed) poster was not talking about hijacking other people's address space, but suggested that it's a good idea to not make your entire customer base reliant on two puny servers somewhere. I find this obvious. -- Niels. -- The idle mind is the devil's playground
