return the unique ip address of the server as additional info with
every query?  change 2181 and go v6-style and have the source ip of
the response be that unique address.  thought required.

but, if you're gonna do anycast for other than caches, and it would
be good even for caches, then some hack like this AND full dnssec
are pretty much mandatory or you'll never clean up the mess.
