Mike,

Please verify you are emailing the correct person. I have no idea how this thread relates to a domain name transfer but I highly recommend verifying the recipient of your emails to make sure they go to the right place.

I don't think there is any satisfactory argument that can be made for wanting to avoid route server routing. For the content/cloud folk, I think avoiding it provides a mechanism via which they can screen for the utility of having to keep an exchange point node upgraded and optimized for service.

Plenty of eyeball networks will announce prefixes differently via a bilateral session vs a route server session vs DFZ, then come yelling because traffic isn't going the way they expected it to. There can be times that the administrative overhead of dealing with those folks far outweighs any financial or performance benefits. 

Route servers are generally useful, but can be a royal pain in the ass too, depending on how they're used.
