You can achieve the above DNS trickery using various load balancers that
other people in this thread have already mentioned. You can also install
your own geomaps in your own nameservers and handle it yourself, or you can
buy managed DNS service from various people that can do this kind of thing.


Just curious, how does DNS load balancing work if people are using
8.8.8.8/208.67.222.222 or basically any public resolvers that cache and
have a significant (relatively speaking) user-base? Is the actual percent
of requests so small that it doesn't matter?
