While a good idea, not everyone can announce or reach the IX fabrics that they connect to or are out there. One solution to that problem is to have the IX operate a zeebra/gated/whatnot box (or router+machine combo) that announces a /24 and as part of connecting to the IX people are required to peer (and provide transit) for that /24 for the "good of the internet". This would allow everyone that connects to the IX to see the benifits of having a close (to their network that is) dns server as well as if my provider does not announce the DE-CIX, LINX, mae-e, mae-w, paix, nyiix, or whatever space to me, i can still reach a server placed at the IX via their network or via their peers/upstreams.
This is done in Sweden, by the exchange point company Netnod, <http://www.netnod.se/>. They have an AS of their own, which is free to peer with, in which a number of crucial services are located, for instance: * Root DNS server * COM/NET/ORG DNS server * DNS for a number of ccTLDs including Sweden. * NTP masters directly synchronised to swedish standard time * RIPE whois mirror. Some of these services are present at several Netnod IXen, notably ccTLD and NTP. It works, and gives excellent service levels. -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE We're sysadmins. To us, data is a protocol-overhead.
