Round-robin DNS isn't going to help people connect to a closer server. They will randomly connect to either the east or west coast server.

The "text" can still come from your primary server or you could setup a "slave" type setup so that it could be a hot fail-over if needed and don't load balance between the boxes, just send traffic that is closer to the other secondary box when it seems appropriate for those users.

That sounds like the best we can achieve, though you will need to use something other than round-robin DNS to let browsers know which is closest.
