Ok, but does it wait until all the packages are down before pushing down
the Packages files? This does not seem to be the case considering the
number of 404 errors I get when upgrading.

Ok, pretty much scripting. The modification of the A record for DNS can be
handled with the dynamic update capability of bind-8. Is the code Debian
uses to distribute to the push mirrors available someplace. Would rather
modify something that is already running than invent a new wheel.
