Thanks for posting this here.

It's exciting that IS-IS is getting more attention. 

In our IS-IS network, where we use Quagga to deloy Anycast 
DNS services, we've had to run OSPF on the DNS server and 
redistribute that into our IS-IS domain.

It's not a clean solution, but it works nonetheless. The 
current IS-IS implementation in Quagga is very barebones for 
any real production environment.

Cheers,

Mark.
