Please, don't demonstrate your lack of basic knowledge.

The difference, as you can see in the above sentence of mine,
is whether the computation is done as an intermediate system
or an end.

FYI, DV uses Bellman-Ford while LS can use Dijkstra, which is
faster than Bellman-Ford.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing
        Distance vector algorithms use the Bellman-Ford algorithm.

        http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellman-Ford
        The Bellman–Ford algorithm computes single-source shortest
        paths in a weighted digraph. For graphs with only
        non-negative edge weights, the faster Dijkstra's algorithm
        also solves the problem.

should help you a lot to have basic knowledge.

That is implied in my statements. So, don't repeat it in such
verbose way only to reduce clarity.

In this case, the document is the thread.

And a tip for you is to remember the past mails in a thread
before sending mails to the thread.

And, to deny HA, your assumption must be that the private DNS
servers may be mobile.

That's totally insane operation.

There is no reason to have anycast HA only to bloat the global
routing table.
