Depending on your license entitlement, you can associate an anycast address with multiple hosts that are serving the same BloxOne service. Note that each anycast address must be unique for a specific protocol. For example, if you have the BloxOne Threat Defense Advanced license entitlement, you can create an anycast address and associate it with multiple hosts that have DNS forwarding proxy service enabled and running on them. Similarly, if you have the BloxOne DDI Advanced entitlement, you can associate one anycast address with multiple hosts that are serving DNS.
