The Guardian published an article just before Christmas about their
approach, which is roughly similar to Stack Overflow's.

https://www.theguardian.com/info/developer-blog/2016/dec/23/multiple-dns-synchronising-dyn-to-aws-route-53

The Guardian are using existing open source tools (nsnotifyd and cli53)
to set up AWS Route 53 as a secondary of a more standard DNS service.
(I wrote nsnotifyd.)
