If you are suggesting to direct mails to the mailing list, I
agree with you.
A very rough draft ID is attached.

Abstract
This memo describes an environment to test a proposal to have root
name servers with shared unicast addresses described in <draft-ietf-
dnsop-ohta-shared-root-server-??.txt>.
1. Introduction
In [SRS], there is a proposal to have multiple name servers sharing
unicast (anycast) addresses. The proposal is designed to work in
intra domain environment with route registries by using multiple ASes
sharing AS numbers.
This memo describes an environment to test the proposal.
While the proposal is on root domain using multiple unicast (anycast)
addresses and (anycast) AS numbers, the experiment is on a real but
non-root domain using only one unicast address and one AS number.
2. IP addresses

INTERNET DRAFTTesting Name Servers with a Anycast Address April 2000
A block of IP addresses:
192.83.240/24
which is expected to be globally routable, is reserved for the test.
The DNS servers share an IP address of:
192.83.230.1
3. AS number
AS 4128 is used for the test.
4. Domains
The initial domains to be served by the DNS servers are:
real-internet.org. psg.com.
There may be additional domains tested.
5. Participants
The initial participants of the test are as follows:
Frederico A. C. Neves <fneves@ansp.br> Masataka Ohta <mohta@real-
internet.org> Randy Bush <randy@psg.com> Stacy Smith
<stacy@broadwing.net>
6. Mailing List
Mailing list for the test is:
if you are interested in joining (or just watching) the test, send
"???" to "???".
7. Contact
If there is something wrong with route information from AS 4128, the
author of the memo or the mailing list for the test may be contacted.
However, for direct contact to the source of the problem, the contact
person of an AS next to AS 4128 in the AS path of problematic route
information should be contacted as described in [SRS].
