Many of our prefixes are only announced to peers in the metro

We target traffic two ways.  One is relatively traditional dns
global load balancing, using the resolver ip.  The other
method---which steers the vast majority of our traffic---vends
urls that send people to a specific PoP based on their client ip.

It appears you're having a targeting problem.  Please reach out
to our NOC to get support.
