TF> Date: Wed, 4 May 2005 10:48:56 +0100 TF> From: Tony Finch TF> Why would anyone use an anycast address as a client? Wouldn't it be TF> simpler to make all client connections from the machine's unicast address? Maybe, maybe not. Take an anycast DNS provider that AXFR/IXFRs zones from its customers. Notifying them of all anycast addresses and keeping ACLs up-to-date isn't feasible. The obvious answer is to have a couple hosts pull zones from unicasted addresses. However, this creates a few small targets... the question is if DNS slaves would benefit sufficiently from increased splay to warrant the additional implementation complexity.
