OK, I'm going to try and meditate on this for a while and see if I can
understand.

Right. But let's say that there are 15 nodes protected by a shield
node. That means that there are 15 addresses out there with the IP
address of the shield node included -- and prominently featured as the
protector. Like, "HERE IS SOMEONE PROTECTING NODES -> ".
For a cluster, the same number of addresses will go out, but there's
no indication that the gateway is actually a gateway. Yes, it's out
there, and probly in higher proportion than if it wasn't a gateway,
but it's still not totally obvious that the clustered nodes even
exist.
