	Are you saying we should source packets from the anycast address?
	If not you should quote better.

	Source addresses can be used to seperate multiple queries with the
	same query id.  While the stub resolver rarely needs to do this
	a nameserver will to this all the time.  Enabling RES_INSECURE1
	just hides the real problem that IPv6 anycast is broken,
	encourages broken nameserver implementations and leaves you with
	the situation where the tools using stub resolver "work" but
	the nameserver doesn't.
