Re: [dnsop] DNS Anycast revisited (fwd)

Sorry if it was not clear, but my post had _nothing_ to do with "CDNs".

I was just talking about people setting up anycast name servers, each of which pointed at a different HTTP server (or other service), to spread load. In many cases, the two servers are the same.

I'd not go so far as to say "disproves", but it shifts the burden of
proof.
No, it disproves. You say "it will not / cannot work". Showing you a working instance in production absolutely disproves your statement.

You can say "it might break", but that's a different statement.
