I am curious if anyone here has/encountered a setup where they use anycast IP on their gateways... to have a predictable egress IP for their traffic, regardless of where they are located?
For example, a search engine crawler could in principle have the same IP advertised all over the world, but it looks like they don't... I wonder why?
Because there’s no good/reliable way to get the replies back to the correct initiating host. Owen
