Come on John, use your imagination. There are creative ways one can use things like cisco flow-stats to figure out how much traffic is traversing your cross-country links. As long as you too are doing closest exit routing then it is possible to get some very good distribution of server load based on the destination's location on your network. I spoke about one possible solution at NANOG 11, http://www.hilander.com/nanog11. Of course, this requires the web farms to actually deploy their huge clients using such a content distribution scheme.
