        Wouldn't the dns bit of ip sla do most of what's needed on IOS ?

        http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_4/ip_sla/configuration/guide/hsdns.html

        some interesting examples at 
www.cisco.com/web/CA/events/pdfs/CNSF2011-Automations_for_Monitoring_and_Troubleshooting_your_Cisco_IOS_Network-Dan_Jerome.pdf

        (slide 29 and onwards)

        Note: this is more of a question than an assertion,
        I've used quagga/ospfd for DNS anycasting within ISPs, and a script
        to monitor the nameserver response, but I'd love to hear what people are
        doing that's not host based.
