Since we've only seen a single ipv4 address come through (the same *one* 
address that they told Evan to add to the SPF record), I'm inclined to 
think they're funneling all their outbound traffic through a single 
point.   I'm happy to stick with this assumption until presented with 
evidence to the contrary.

Regardless of our assumptions and feelings, when Evan talks to their 
support folks about this, it's certainly something he should ask.
