-----Original Message----- From: address-policy-wg-admin@ripe.net [mailto:address-policy-wg-admin@ripe.net] On Behalf Of Tobias Cremer Hi,
Only the organization hosting the DNS is eligible, i.e. a data centre operator who wants to provide hosting services is not eligible?
Not even with the existing policy.
This depends on the definition. If a network announce their /16 prefix world-wide and decide to assign a customer a /29 for the use of anycast, they are entirely free to do so. The internal routing for the /29 within this network obviously needs to be configured for anycast use directed to the closest of the 15 different datacenters. The /29 is of course not announced to dfz, only the aggregate /16 is. Is the problem with this method perhaps that DNS operators don't seem to operate a real network and they are not willing to let the network operator to it for them? Or is the network operator unwilling to do it? Or is it just a bad plan? J
