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.
Everyone can create as many SOA-records as necessary. I don't think that this is a good idea to count the number of hosted domains. I've even seen customers which generate a subdomain for each A-record.
You would have to restrict that to 1st-level domains to be effective, but there would surely be cases where this would exclude people who have a valid reason for anycast. At the moment the "physical location" requirement seems to be the one which covers most of the valid anycast setups, if I'm not mistaken?
The 512 byte limit is hard to prove but it's for protocol reasons. Nevertheless, does it still make sense?
I don't think it still makes sense. It doesn't cover for example (D)DoS, which is something you can fend of with anycast.
