I did a lot of work on Super Sparrow a while ago. But there han't
really been enough interest in it for me to do much work on it since.
The System that I designed (see www.supersparrow.org) is pretty simple
and works by using BGP data to determine the answer to DNS requesets.
It is also possible to use other sources to generate the answere too. I
actually wrote a very primitive back end that works of a static table.
This is the way that www.linuxvirtualserver.org is load balanced.
