Bill, I know you know better, so let's try more facts and less
FUD.  Mmmmkay?  Your above paragraph is a red herring that is
analogous to saying "all multihomed services must be run on the
router itself".

Here's the deal:  DNS server runs a BGP/OSPF/whatever speaker.
It says when the service IP address is up and when it's down.
For all your <whatever brand> router cares, it's talking to just
another router.  If the "router" (DNS server) ain't saying "send
me traffic", the router doesn't send it traffic.  Very simple.

You won't find a turnkey RPM to do it, but that doesn't mean it's
impossible.  In fact, if you slow down and read previous posts,
you'll note some very big hints re how to build such a working
system.  If you're limited to installing out-of-the-box packages,
you _will_ have a huge mess... but that's not my problem.

Okay, I'll give you credit for that paragraph.
