As others have pointed out, what you’re describing isn’t anycast, nor anything directly to do with high availability.

There are multiple well-understood frameworks which can be used to do what you’re describing.

This is strictly a layer-7 issue, nothing to do with layer-2 nor anycast.  There’s no need to get down into the 
networking weeds to accomplish what you appear to be trying to accomplish.

Just do it all at layer-7.
