much talk and fud about this. in practice, this does not seem to be
a problem. e.g. some years back, we did a two hour streaming videocast
to over 100k users, 200mb of traffic, from a dozen anycast servers.
not one noc call.
not that i would advise running nuclear weapons on long-lived tcp to
anycast. but we don't need to prevent people using what they use today.
