Akamai's service uses non-coherent DNS by design. Your post referenced a failure case in which DNS service was not coherent by virtue of certain pods not responding; UDNS attempts to provide coherent DNS service.

One of the challenges of anycast is failure detection and mitigation. <mumbles> flooding clusters via source-based routing tunneling anycast-destined OAM packets via unicast ns-to-machine affinity within pods tight coupling of DNS service to anycast route injection </mumbles> Anycast implementation _does_ present new operational challenges, but they're hardly insurmountable.
