Oops, I apologize that I missed to read "other information". So one
of the implemetations in which the server selection is performed in
the regular BGP route selection may comply with the draft.

What I mean is that the model of operation just above can be practical.
However, the draft "requires" it is. 

Assume a stuation where a server is attached to an exchange point in
which 60 ISPs are connected and where they peer with the
serverm. Mohta san's requirement can be understood that the operators
of *all* ISPs must have responsibility on the server. I don't think
this is practical and necessary.
