definitely not doing Anycast. As I wrote just a few days ago [1] github.map.fastly.net resolves to a different IP address based on the geographic location of the user. The exact server location might be approximated from the X-Served-By response header:

  X-Served-By: cache-fra1225-FRA
  X-Served-By: cache-d46-DAL
