Thank you. Are the master servers ready to accept XFR requests from
other servers?

Requests to add zones to share an anycast address is, of course,
not considered for the draft on the root zone.

For production use, different anycast addresses should be provided
for different zones, I think.

You can't.

DNS clients can detect anomally, instead.

If you are not convinced, forget the draft and think about how can
we detect some ISP running a fake root server with the same IP
address as an official one?
