Anycast DNS

[Todd Snyder]

The reason I've heard a few times is that users are uncomfortable using only 1 address.  In the past I've done 2 or 3 addresses just so that we can give out 3 addresses that all point to the same pool of servers.

Silly, I know, but sometimes it's easier to placate than to change someone/groups understanding of the world/networking/resilience/dns/loadbalancing.

Have seen some anycast DNS implementations using more than one address, some times even on the same subnet, any considerations or reasons for doing that?
