With the use of anycast DNS servers on the internet, TCP is no longer an option for DNS.
Erm, bollocks. Just because a few nameservers are anycasted doesn't mean that the vast majority of non-anycasted servers may not use TCP. Optimising the common case of simple lookups so they fit in a UDP request makes good sense, but an overzealous determination to stamp out TCP DNS is not helpful, since it is rather useful under certain circumstances. -- Congratulations.
