assuming we are talking about the well known community no-export, then i 
understand the problem.

a better solution would be to peer only the anycast node, such that transit
providers continue to propagate to the global internet (minus the peers seeing
the shorter path).

for wider distribution within the region, possibly using a transit provider for
the anycast and use communities supported by the upstream to restrict 
announcement to its peers or upstreams

or am i naive too?
