Does routing work like that? I mean once data is stable on a machine, it won't move, but getting that data there, man that seems hard. I mean, copying a file between 2 London datacenters might go through New York, if conditions are right. I always thought moving between two machines to the fastest route, not the shortest route. I guess you could set up some fancy geolocation rules to ensure IPs of a certain range are only routable to other specific IPs. Still, there's no guarantee about the physical location of a given address.
