Does the capitalisation of Anycast mean it has been productised, now? :-)
In my head, anycast is unicast without globally-unique addresses. Since nobody ever asks "does unicast work with Windows?" I am guessing you mean something different by "Anycast" than I do by "anycast".
What do you mean?You can do the kind of Internet-wide service distribution that we do with F [1] with no unusual requirements on the host. (ISC in fact deploys clusters of hosts in each node rather than a single host, and the way we build the clusters involves OSPF on the hosts, but that's orthogonal to the wide-area distribution strategy.)
