On our anycast setup (Solaris) we are configuring the anycast
adresses on the physical interfaces as aliases rather then the
loopbacks and then the kernel puts the correct address in the
answer packet. This however requires to configure an
outgoing-interface, as querying with anycast IPs isn't a good
idea.
