Multicast/broadcast.

Probably simple broadcast is enough. All we do is advertise an ip.

There is some example code for simple multicast style in multimaster_fkie.

An interesting take on a similar (the exact same?) problem, for webservices cluster :
etcd(distributed consensus via graft) + skyDNS (distributed DNS with service registration) + skydock ( if we want to use docker ).

Actually an interesting comparison of other solutions : http://jasonwilder.com/blog/2014/02/04/service-discovery-in-the-cloud/.

And even a demo : http://www.tikalk.com/devops/docker-service-discovery-skydns-and-skydock/
