Or you could use network switches with EVPN support. EVPN will let each server or direct connected switch be a hidden layer 3 gateway. The application will not know about it and it will appear to be layer 2 but routable like layer 3. Which means you can do anycast at layer 3. Physically the packets are moved in tunnels so you can use any layer 2 or layer 3 hardware at your choice. Regards, Baldur
