P5-pgeodns

Geographic NameServer

pgeodns is a simple DNS server that can distribute load for a hostname to the nearest mirrors as defined by geography; on the country / continent level.

It is used for search.cpan.org/cpansearch.perl.org and for ftp.perl.org/ftp.cpan.org; to provide nearby-ish servers for the NTP Pool; and to balance svn.apache.org to svn.us.apache.org and svn.eu.apache.org.
