* Jeroen Massar:
Simple recipe: - Box with: - Your favourite OS - Quagga or OpenBGPd - Your favourite DNS server - Announce the IP of the anycast node in BGP - Monitor the DNS server, when it does not work kill your local BGPd and notify the admins that it broke
This is fine if you just use BGP to indirectly hook into your IGP. For global anycast, you need a sufficiently short prefix with no non-anycast services on it. This can be difficult to justify for newcomers. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer@bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
