Yeah, I know about Unix/Linux. All the large scale anycast deployments
I know about are on unix, but I was wondering if anyone has tried it
using windows.
Honestly, I do not know about OSPF (or BGP) on Windows, however, you
can just static route to the Windows box(es). Sure, if the OS hangs,
the interface will stay up and the static route will still push bits at
the dead box, but it will work (FSVO "work").
Besides, how often does Windows crash? <snicker>
