No, typically they run OSPF.

Perhaps a little further explanation may help Marshall... think: a *nix
box running zebra, connected to a router.

Mmm, like what?  This is all ancient history at this point...  It seems
unlikely that anyone would discover something that didn't work at this
late date.

Just as a guess, Marshall is probably thinking of using anycast for
something other than DNS, like http, or ftp, or telnet. And he's
wondering about state ;-)

Chat with Genuity.new about what they did with Hopscotch from
Genuity.orig. It used to deal with that.
