keep in mind that 'enterprises' may be deploying anycast services
inside their wan's, NOT publicly visible... What advice would you give
them in such a situation?

I suppose my point is/was/will-be that documenting a path that's not
insane, works, could help new folks isn't bad. I agree that there are
2-3-17 ways this is currently deployed, each has their similarities,
troublepoints and wins... I fall back on the fact that most of these
are operated by very smart folk who know the innards of their
deployment/scenario (and the larger internet in most cases) very, very
well. As you say leo, telling them 'change your ways!!' is just not
sensible.
