Hmm, why not anycast the service/application ips? Having inconsistent DNS info seems like a problem waiting to bite your behind.
Which begs the question.. is anyone doing this right now? I've been wondering about the potential issues wrt anycasting tcp applications.. TCP sessions would be affected negatively during a route change..
short-lived tcp is probably ok though (like static webpages or something of that sort) you'll also have to watch out for maintaining state for distributed application servers (I suppose). TCP anycast has many more complicated implications than UDP/DNS things, or so it seems to my untrained/educated eye.
