Hi,
And in fictitious case of jf_music.com hiring Akamai, would the Akamai server(s) have a dedicated IP for jf_music in each city (or re-use same IP via anycast) or would the CDN servers use the same IP address to deliver multiple services from totally different content providers ?
Generally the CDN provider would have a cluster of machines/IP's on each of their locations that are reused by different customers and are probably divided by service/content. They would probably be stable but can vary due to service improvements or disruptions. As it was noted Akamai is putting servers into the ISP's, I don't think that others like L3 or Limelight do it (or seen evidence that they do).
