I would be happy to sacrifice one routing table entry per ccTLD, though, if it increases reliability of the whole DNS system. Speaking for my network only, of course.
.. until someone figures out that, hey, each ccTLD actually requires more entries (e.g., 3), because having just one prefix for all the servers increases the danger/threat of a routing system hiccup for a prefix..
I see... However, 3 x (what? 200 countries) is still numerable... :) However-bis im afraid the entries per ccTLD might tend more to 6 than 3... even so i would prefer having 1200 "critical stuff" routes that some thousands originated my misconfigurations/historical reasons...
