It's actually a rather frustrating situation for people who aren't big enough to justify a /19 and an AS#, but require geographically dispersed locations answering on the same IP(s).
If the number of IPs you require is small, then you can probably solve the problem with IPv4 anycasting. Several people have built out distributed anycast networks but the problem is that they think IPv4 anycast is a "DNS thing". Therefore they don't sell anycast hosting services to people like you who need it. Of course, if you made them more aware of market demand, this could change. --Michael Dillon
