I guess it'll be ISIS anycast then, though that works just as well but is certainly not an inter-server communication protocol. About bloody time you chaps got around to using anycast anyway slackers!
How are you Munkeh?

Heh.. he has a singularly unique approach to systems architecture
That'll be a family fortunes *bap-barp* for ISIS, but these are only going to advertise downwards from the POPs so..
And yes it's about time we went anycast, and does mean VM will have one uber caching DNS platform when rollout is complete. Still just one small piece that most people wouldn't even think about that is now honkingly spec'd and scalable.. (99% of people don't even know the impact these systems have on their connectivity, and the chaps involved never get kudos for most of the stuff that's deployed that actually makes the 'tinternet work on this scale for this many customers).
The rest of the systems infrastructure to follow suit I hope, (beancounters obviously not throwing their abaci in the mix), still Keith's keeping me busy with his "make this fluffy cloud idea work please" requests. Next.. potato powered cars and anti-gravity flying rabbits would you believe.. all in the name of research and a faster more stable broadband connection (ok thats not true, the rabbits are actually frogs).
Oh and I'm fine...
(would my guess be correct that Brick Lane is one of you daily haunts?)
