> I second the observation. I'll add a bit: in anycast deployments for DNS, scope is handled using BGP, and is measured in policy hops, not router interfaces. My context here is that I am associated with ISC, which operates one of the DNS root services and is an anycast operation. [etc]

I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said here, but let’s not get side-tracked: you are talking about a totally different use case than the one I’m trying to address.   If somebody wants to try to address the use case you are talking about, I would greatly appreciate that not becoming an obstacle to progress on the use case I’m actually trying to address.

Thanks!
