I agree that this is the best way to go.  But having stabilized on BSR at 
this point and a big production service to roll out in a week, I don't
think we'll change for now.  Hopefully in winter break we'll migrate to
Anycast RP with static assignments.  

Brent, is there any way to collect the community wisdom and get it into
the cookbook?
