You may want to participate in the anycast DNS cloud.

Configuration

Configuration requirements for all members of the anycast group are:

  • maintain your own zones based on whois database (scripts included in monotone repository)
  • allow recursion (including .)
  • listen on a unicast IP too for testing/debugging reasons
  • with bind, please use minimal-responses yes; (goes into options/view)

It is really good to hang around in IRC to get things sorted out, if something doesn't work. Letting some people test your DNS behavior before joining the anycast-group is considered best practice - better safe than sorry.
