The issue is multiple POPs in a geographic region where customers could
connect to either- if you have those and want them to work in adversity
then you've got a problem as you need to allow the static addresses to
propogate around. When that number is small then it's not a problem,
but when you've got it large scale then you have a routing problem.
This is my fear.
