But balance that with keep the path from filter list to route-server
short too - because if you need to adjust a filter list in response
to a network (or utility) emergency, you want to make sure the data

relied on certificates distributed by a DNS server. When the flood
was released, accessing DNS became impossible - the security system
drowned in the flood.)
