In the taxonomy I just shared, that makes the origin nodes of B all =
"global nodes".
To clarify though, I certainly wasn't trying to suggest that the things =
I described were new or original when I was writing in 2003. Anycast had =
already been in use for quite some time by a variety of people at that =
time.
It's specifically the terms "local" and "global" in a DNS anycast =
context that I was apologising for :-)
