    sending a request from a client to use the first server for the predetermined service by the anycast address of the service;

    receiving the request at the first server and detecting that the request was addressed using an anycast address; and

    sending a response from the first server to the client, instructing the client to use an alternative server and providing a specific address of the alternative server to the client, instead of providing the requested predetermined service by the first server in response to the request.
