Do you? Relying 100% on anycast is MUCH worse than not deploying
anycast at all. Spend some time thinking about various failure modes.
(*sigh* just read NANOG archives if you want the short cut)
There is more than one solution to every problem. Don't fixate on
anycast purely because your university hosts a couple of web pages on
it.
