It's my hope that CDN support can be added to DNS in a way that allows all 
answers to be identical. Modern clients even mobile ones are powerful enough to 
make application layer routing decisions locally. But we have to move away from 
CNAME especially at the apex. The great bogie man of CDN seems to be additional 
round trips. That's workable. 


DNS RPZ, mentioned below, is intended as a security enhancer below the 
recursive and ought not be used above the recursive. So, off topic here. But to 
be clear, ECS has shown that the CDN industry is willing to involve recursive 
servers in their path selection activities, we might expect more technology of 
that kind to result from this side meeting.

While this is undoubtedly true Ray, that ship sailed a *long* time ago*. I 
agree this shouldn’t (doesn’t?) need to be standardised. 

However if the side meeting is able a make valid case for work on the topic, it 
deserves to be heard. And if it doesn’t, the proponents can get to be heard and 
then dismissed. 

* IIUC BIND provides a few options to enable this bad idea: RPZ for instance.
