You can play all kinds of DNS games with GSS based upon load (via  
probes), perceived topological distance, up/down status, et. al.  It  
has some DNS DoS self-defense mechanisms built in, too.

There are some open-source tools which can be used to do various types  
of clustering/redirection/etc., as well:
