What kind of service are you running on those VIPs? This is probably better accomplished at the application layer to direct traffic to different IPs rather than this "anycast TCP" at the network layer. Your network peeps are correct to :psyduck:

ospf on servers is fine as long as the configs on the switch side are suitably defensive in case of misconfiguration. stick the servers in a stub area and put route maps on the interfaces for which prefixes the server is allowed to advertise. might be more config but multipathing is much nicer at layer 3 than layer 2 (m)lag

Most modern enterprisey firewalls will support something like that via session-based ECMP, which should also handle NAT based on outgoing interface. I assume that sorta thing has trickled down into the prosumer market already.

they call them load balancers
