Re: DNS Anycast as traffic optimizer?
- From: Duane Wessels

So there is no need to anycast the DNS servers and rely on BGP topology for
selection.
Instead use bind's behaviour so that each resolving nameserver will be
querying the authoritative nameserver that responds the fastest.
However, note that only BIND does this. djbdns always selects
nameservers randomly and the Windows selection algorithm is somewhat
of a mystery. See http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0310/wessels.html
