from 1995-1996, i placed a DNS root server in Antarctica. Funding for the bandwidth cost was high enough that I pulled the service. Never really delved into the actual requirement for "real-time" interactions that could not be localized. caching and batch transfers cover most of the need. for

usually the logistics and business models of traditional CLS and DC are different (Bill Woodcock laid it out). a few years ago i built a model for SWIFT that provided for dynamic remapping of lambda in the event of backhoe fade. Not exactly your DC, neutral IX form factor, but met the need at the
