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.
Oh I can't agree with that more. No problem in using tcp for non-anycasted servers..
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.
