Yes, the authors discussed this at length, and we actually reached out to
quite a number of people for the terminology. There were even emails on this
ML, I think.
1) DM is a term used in the DNS operational community. It's not ubiquitous,
but it is understood in many of the anycast DNS groups.
2) The term "stealth primary" is also used, but according to how it is used,
that term would apply to the HNA, not the DM function.
3) We would be happy to go with another term, but we don't want to invent
another term. So, if the DNS anycast operator has another term, then
I'd go with it.

Nope, because that's confusing in the DNS space.
It's not a primary.
