Maybe you should reread the two messages. The poster suggested that anycast was the way to make sure that your userbase does not have two rely on two puny servers somewhere for recursive DNS services. So, the question remains, does the poster think that network operators should band together and operate shared anycast recursive DNS services? Or does the poster think that network operators should operate many recursive DNS servers throughout their infrastructure and tie them together using anycast? Or was it something else? If anycast is a good idea for recursive DNS service, then there is a 3rd party business opportunity here to operate global recursive DNS services so that network operators can focus on running the network, not on providing services like DNS resolution. --Michael Dillon
