The most popular use of this patch is to send web site visitors to their nearest web server. Suppose you have a site called www.example555.com with two web servers: one in the US and one in England. You can use this patch in order for visitors from Europe to connect to the server in England and all other visitors to the server in the US. This is just one example of its usage. There are probably many others. WWW: http://www.caraytech.com/geodns/ - Doug Barton DougB@FreeBSD.org
