That's not entirely true. You can easily do lookup for whoami.akamai.net and it will return the unicast address for the node in question (provided the local resolver is able to do the resolution). This is a frequent lookup that I do when I don't know what actual anycast node I'm using.
Using 8.8.8.8 to tell me about whoami.akamai.net tells me what Akamai authoritative server Google last used to answer that query.
Oh, now that I poke at it, it seems like whoami.akamai.net is telling me about the address of the resolver I used, rather than the address of the akamai node I hit. Never mind, I understand now :-) Joe
