[address-policy-wg] Assignments for Critical Infrastruction

Thanks for your fast reply. To be honest, I haven't seen multiple /24 IPv4 
prefixes allocated (legally) to a single entity in Arin region just for DNS 
BGP Anycast service.

In Ripe region you can't get /24 prefix allocated for DNS BGP anycast 
hosting if you are a normal business (like a DNS service provider who just 
wants to compete in this business crowd) unless you are gTLD or ccTLD. In 
Arin region you can get ONE /24 prefix for this purpose... This is why I am 
harsh with my comments to gTLD and ccTLD owners who now want more than one 
/24 prefix for DNS hosting in Ripe region... Sorry...


Thanks!
