Setting up Proxy Servers with AnyCast address

[tmroberts]

I am building out a new Zabbix infrastructure to replace our existing older system. Currently I have 14 proxy servers running (likely to be about 20 soon). I am wondering if anyone has ever set up their proxy servers using an anycast address rather than a physical address? This would make things SO much easier both in terms of discovery but also configuration for everything from network snmp stuff to agent configs if they all could use the same address. Thanks in advance.

The proxy address can be identified by IP or the resolvable hostname.
The proxy must be single IP/hostname because if not it will cause issues with inconsistency with the physical path to the monitored host.
If you want to switch between physical systems on which is running zabbix process you must move IP between systems or change IP->hostname assignment in DNS.
