RFC 3258 gave another reason why anycast will work for a set of name
servers widely spreaded (such as in Karrenberg's proposal to anycast
k.root-servers.net):

The second is that the aim of this proposal is to diversify
topological placement; for most users, this means that the
coordination of placement will ensure that new instances of a name
server will be at a significantly different cost metric from existing
instances.  Some set of users may end up in the middle, but that
should be relatively rare.
