Actually I had envisioned something simpler, based on our existing mirrors database, without the whole "scanning" part. But yes, it certainly bears resemblance. There seems to be one important difference, from what I could gather: their setup redirects traffic, which means the actual HTTP requests are all coming to the central server first. I think this solution would still generate a lot of traffic that could otherwise be diverted if a pure-DNS solution was used, doing the "best-mirror by GeoIP" calculation on DNS request time.
