I have don't think that this should be an imperative. Do you really think that LIRs should not be able to request such an allocation on behalf of a customer that would like to do that? > - as setting up a server and finding slaves, plus anycast in general is > not really rocket science: is there any closer definiton of "Operators > providing DNS for a zone served by a number of name servers..." - > would my own domain (say - netcraft.at) qualify as well? If I recall it correctly we have opened the intial qualification from TLD DNS operators to a broader scope knowingly to include those who feel that their DNS operation is important enough for them to run this kind of infrastructure in that particular way i.e. anycasting with a number of NS that would break the 512 limit in a "signifacant" number of responses. What I have heard so far the expected number of requests for this kind of allocations will be in a range that most believe that it is not necessary to knit the mesh too tight but give a credit to the applicant. > - and trying to reclaim that address space would be pretty cumbersome > for both parties, I guess, unless the zone (all zones on those > servers?) go(es) away _completely_ ?! If someone finds it cumbersome to renumber because he has to return the resources granted to do dns anycasting he probably should not apply for this resource ;-) Cheers Andreas
