Another thing that I've seen discussed -- but haven't tested myself -- 
is to play tricks like having the MNAME be it's own zone hosted on each 
DNS server wherein the zone resolves the MNAME to the local DNS server.

This seems like a varient on anycasting, which operates on the IP layer. 
  Except this provides similar functionality at the DNS application layer.

You could probably achieve similar results with an RPZ overriding the 
MNAME with the local server's IP address.
