How well does Anycast work with Windows 2000 or XP servers? Is theMicrosoft OSPF implementation good enough to use or do people port anotherrouting implementation? 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> -- TTFN, patrick
