Expensive, but yes, anycast solves it.
- exikyut 8y agoCurious how expensive. Obviously I realize I have to colocate or provision at least two servers, but beyond that... - do I own the IP address(es), and BGP-route them to the machines in question? - can I use any provider (who is willing to do the required configuration)? As a specific example, could I run anycast between two boxes purchased through Hetzner auction? (Translation: considering that I'm going fishing around in the auctions as opposed to other options, would I even be listened to? heh) - who am I actually paying, and for what? (besides power, bandwidth, and possibly the server itself) - ...how does anycast actually work _within the context of using it for hosting_? :/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast is... distinctly not contextually-scoped to my intentions.
