It should be possible to say that you have a server in Fremont, CA and Toronto, ON or Beauharnois, QC, and automatically have all East Coast users go to Toronto, and West Coast to Fremont.

Apart from not being supported by anyone, it's also broken by design in regards to the "Searching by Network or Subnet" section (e.g. the party who controls 0.0.0.88.in-addr.arpa is not at all related to the party that has 88.198.0.0/16), and also has no IPv6 support: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1876#section-5.2.2 C.
