No, I don't say that. I'm not happy with these "numerical" requirements. But I'm *more* happy with the SOA count (in our case) then the 512 byte limit. > Only the organization hosting the DNS is eligible, i.e. a data centre > operator who wants to provide hosting services is not eligible? > > Every DNS hoster with over x zones gets their own /24 even though you > could aggregate over 200 such organizations into one /24 if they shared > data centre infrastructure? > > It seems to me that this approach to IPv4 Anycast prefixes only > reinforces an existing monopoly and blocks organizations who might want > to take a fresh approach to DNS hosting or other types of application > hosting. You definitely have a point here. I'm hoping that someone comes up with a better plan for the requirement(s), I'm still thinking about one. It's a lot of space to give away, and there has to be some sort of limitation.
