I could be misremembering the conversation, but I believe deb.debian.org
is only fastly at the moment. It would be technically possible to
direct some clients to other mirrors/CDNs, but the mirror admins are
hesitant to introduce that level of complexity at the moment, as it
would make troubleshooting significantly more difficult. If fastly
becomes unreliable for some reason, then deb.debian.org would be
repointed to some other back end.
