If there are multiple anycasted caching servers behind a specific IP address, then those several cache's will each have a different state. Since, [as I explained, and was supposed by the poster], there is "some kind of load balancing going on", and also since implementors of anycast caches have posted questions and explained their purposes [which could be seen as "load balancing"], this is a likely explanation. It may not be the only explanation: e.g. they could be restarting their nameservers every thirty seconds. But "anycast loadbalancing" of a caching server is probably the most likely.
All fine and good. But nowhere in your long paragraph do you actually address Steinar's question, which is "What does this rant have to do with *ignoring* *DNS* *TTL*?"
