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.
