I've been thinking about this for NTP. Wouldn't you end up with =
constant corrections with NTP and Anycast? Or is the assumption your =
anycasted NTP hosts are all peers of each other and extremely close in =
time to one another? That still wouldn't address the latency =
differences between the different hosts.
