Why not use a DNS for the clients? your making things too complicated.

Client-1-request@ISP-1 -> edge1.streaming.au ISP-1-DNS -> 12.34.56.78 (which is your edge box)
Client-1-request@ISP-2 -> edge1.streaming.au ISP-2-DNS -> 99.88.77.66 (which is your box in the US)

Anyone from ISP-1 will always be directed to the edge systems, anyone else to where-ever you point the dns.

ISP's also use regional DNS servers which allows you more edge systems closer to the users.

Anyway, BGP see http://bird.network.cz/ (netflix solution)
