There are other ways to achieve this without actually stopping the 
routing daemon.

We have DNS servers where the anycast service address is added to a 
loopback interface (lo1) and only advertised when present.

The monitoring script drops and adds the service address to the 
loopback, without otherwise touching the routing daemon.  We use Bird 
rather than FRR, though.
