I'm not sure I'm describing a properly configured anycast environment well. Since in anycast the client never see the "physical" address of a DNS server, it matters not where they (the DNS server(s)) "physically" are (only if they are in the anycast cloud or not). You can move them around (insert/delete servers to/from the cloud) to your heart's content and the client doesn't know. The requirement here (to avoid having clients left on legacy devices) is that all the affected servers be in the anycast cloud and all of your client devices point to the "logical" anycast address for DNS resolution NOT the "physical" address(es) of the DNS server(s). You add the new server(s) to the cloud and delete the legacy server(s) from the cloud. Easy peasey. Obviously, this takes some up front planning and having a group of servers on the same subnet is probably not a good idea (although it could be interesting from a load sharing perspective...). YMMV, it's just a thought.
