As the Internet has grown, many services with high availability
   requirements have emerged.  The requirements of these services have
   increased the demands on the reliability of the infrastructure on
   which those services rely.

   Many techniques have been employed to increase the availability of
   services deployed on the Internet.  This document presents
   operational experience of wide-scale service distribution using
   anycast, and proposes a series of recommendations for others using
   this approach.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
