I've been reading this thread on the web and I have a question.

I had the anycast idea myself without knowing about that RFC.

I read the RFC, but there is one thing still missing.

What would that address be ?

What have people used ?

Any idea's ? I'd guess if it's for a small corporate or home network,
using a link-local address is probably best ? As they can't be routed.

A lot of the times you see 192.168.0.1 or something like that in
smaller IPv4-networks. would FE80::1 be a good idea as well ?

PS The In-Reply-To/References headers are missing because I wasn't on the list before.
