This sounds like you want to have multiple NSDs at a single location, 
having load balancing between them. How do you deploy your servers? For 
anycast you need BGP anyways to announce your anycast prefixes. Hence 
just announce the prefixes from all your NSD nodes if the provider 
supports ECMP (equal-cost multipath) BGP.

Or if you deploy also routers, you can easily use OSPF.

This is what we do.
