Doesn't the Happy Eyeballs address selection algorithm work even when 
all the potential address are on the same network (be it IPv4 or v6)?

As many have pointed out physical location and network location don't 
always quite correlate.  Just recently I've made a change in colos that 
brought my servers both 400 miles closer to my house, and 30ms further 
away via the network, and the transit providers in all cases had "Time 
Warner" in the name.
