These are two papers written whilst at ISC describing many aspects of how ISC did what you are talking about with the F 
root nameserver:

This is a rendering of the OSPF/IGP anycast tech note above as a USENIX paper:

This is a more sarcastic article about anycast that was published in the USENIX publication ;login:

This is a presentation about building nameserver clusters that was presented at NANOG 34:
