It goes to the USA and back again. They would need NAT64 servers in every
region and then let the DNS64 service decide which one is close to you by
encoding the region information in the returned IPv6 address. Such as
2001:470:64:[region number]::/96.

An anycast solution would need a distributed NAT64 implementation, such
that the NAT64 servers could somehow synchronize state. A more simple
solution is just to have the DNS64 be anycast and have a DNS64 at each
NAT64 location with the DNS64 returning pointers to the local NAT64.

That is what we do.

We've got NAT64 routers deployed at every PoP/region, to keep NAT64
state local and more predictable.

Needless to say, the distribution reduces the impact of the "CG" from
the "CG-NAT64".
