Just because they hosts are on the same subnet and are apparently behind
the same end device for you doesn't make them non-geographically diverse
if they are really anycast pods, does it? It really just means one anycast
pod was down for a time :(

It is one of the things that anycast makes difficult though :(
Troubleshooting anycast from the outside is a bear.
