Is the requirement for a specific AD user account, or will persistence based on the source IP address suffice?

Unless you set the persistence timeout to 'indefinite' a user (IP address) could eventually be re-balanced to a new DNS server, just be careful of the number of persistence records it will generate/maintain.
