If the WG were to go ahead with this DNS discovery mechanism in spite
of its flaws, and if the mechanisms you and Erik describe describe
prove out and become available[*], then the mechanisms you describe
might be a useful partial remedy one of the misfeatures of the DNS
discovery mechanism that's currently in WG last call.
Sure seems like a lot of work to go to in order to repair one (not
all) of the fundamental flaws in a DNS discovery mechanism that's less
useful than the pre-existing technology that it's trying to supplant.
[*] My understanding is that the mechanisms in your anycast-rr draft
are still in the early experimental stage; please correct me if I
have that wrong.
