There is also MSDP anycasting, which is both pretty cool and close to best common practice for anyone running MSDP. Regards Marshall
it clear which they are talking about. Conceivably there could be other applications that could be distributed using BGP anycast. And if those applications are designed knowing the quirks of BGP anycasting then presumably they would have ways to overcome some of the issues that affect DNS. I would reword your statement as follows. ... then this should go on the "con" list for DNS anycasting. --Michael Dillon
