ok,
let's suppose that usually provides the most appropriate environment for =
placing the dns servers and their co-infrastructure. taking it only =
technically, providing the connectivity for the ixp is a detail (to =
announce or not to announce). maybe the ixp could allocate a 'stub' =
subnet - separate from the transit subnet - and provide a voluntary mlpa =
to all the hosted isps. this would not break the isp policies on =
announcing the transit ixp subnet. all these are details.
i see a space for another topic in this thread - updating the dns =
infrastrucure a bit. to be more specific:
- would the ixp-located tld dns servers server only a small set of tld's =
each? if so, would it be region-based or agreement-based?
- would it be worth the effort starting a project similar to irr that =
would serve as a common source for dns configurations?
it'd be nice to hear your oppinions
