Not really. Normally, anycasting should be stable; if you send a request to the same IP address you will get a response from the same server. There may be additional load balancing being done where at a particular location that IP maps to multiple servers (we've done that with TruCluster for example), but that has nothing to do with anycasting. -- Chris Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
