This memo describes a set of practices intended to enable an
authoritative name server operator to provide access to a single named
server in multiple locations.  The primary motivation for the
development and deployment of these practices is to increase the
distribution of Domain Name System (DNS) servers to previously
under-served areas of the network topology and to reduce the latency
for DNS  query responses in those areas.

This document is a product of the Domain Name Server Operations
Working Group of the IETF.
