Many thanks. If you are looking to do some traffic steering, geodns is a great tool, = if you are willing to either run your own authoritative DNS servers, or = farm it out to a service that supports this, such as aws route53. I = pretty busy right now, but I may have some time at some point to help = spin up authoritative servers based on preferably knot, or pdns. --FC
