I agree, I thought Ottawa had an anycast node from the ISC (f) root server...
[root@wpgnetsvc02 ~]# traceroute f.root-servers.net traceroute to f.root-servers.net (192.5.5.241), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets ... 9 gw-isc.torontointernetxchange.net (198.32.245.23) 58.612 ms 22.422 ms 22.475 ms 10 f.root-servers.net (192.5.5.241) 23.249 ms 23.457 ms 23.758 ms
I don't know about any of the gTLDs (.com, .org), but the ccTLD for .ca is in Canada, I don't know the locations:
[root@wpgnetsvc02 ~]# dig foo.ca @f.root-servers.net ... ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: ca. 172800 IN NS CA04.CIRA.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS CA05.CIRA.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS CA06.CIRA.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS NS-EXT.ISC.ORG. ca. 172800 IN NS CA01.CIRA.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS CA02.CIRA.ca. ca. 172800 IN NS CA03.CIRA.ca.

According to that article; Canada has no root servers and no gTLD servers (except I assume gTLD .ca is here somewhere).
But I was certain that other article on a recent DNS DOS attack mentioned that Ottawa had a server?

Sounds like a job for DNS SRV records...
(on a related note, the latest IP Protocol Journal has an excellent article on the DNS root servers: http://cisco.com/ipj)
