Indeed. The only real issue is cost. We've been extremely careful to not
to over commit in regards to reoccuring costs. So far our operating
costs are 1K a year roughly.

Anycast is expensive unofrtunately, you have;

  - DC(rackspace) costs
  - Transit costs
  - Hardware(servers, switches) costs
  - IP costs
