Incidentally, there is a similar mechanism available for the F root
nameserver, in case people are not aware:
dig @f.root-servers.net hostname.bind chaos txt
For most people this will reveal a nameserver hostname with a "PAO" or
an SFO in it. People within the catchment of a local anycast node of F
will see different site codes.
"hostname.bind CH TXT" is a general feature of BIND 9, and not a
special feature of F.
