My startup NameTerrific can support instantaneous DNS updates in a geo-redundant Anycast infrastructure. As long as your TTL is sufficiently low (<300), the impact is quite limited as propagation time is negligible at NameTerrific.

EDIT: Sorry guys. We got some issues with a gem after installing the recently updated ruby2.0.0p0. The unicorn workers were timing out. TerrificDNS is completely unaffected and the site is already running again.

Hopefully the back-end is not running Ruby. ;-)

The back-end is AWS Route53, it seems.

Well, we have already soft launched our own TerrificDNS Anycast and it has replaced the Route 53 solution. TerrificDNS platform is running on Redis + PowerDNS.

From my experience with DNS for a large site over the last years, a lot of ISPs do not respect your TTL and have their own TTL (often 24h).

If and only if the site's end users and their software fully respects TTL. A lot don't, especially shitty mobile networks and web browsers.

You should probably put the same amount of effort into your web hosting infrastructure http://imgur.com/ok5lfml
