I guess there is a relatively simple solution for that: on the requester's
IP address perform an inverse DNS search (nslookup) and choose a host who
has the same country code that the host uses. (or geographically close to
that.) I would do it in the index.html using server-side scripts and
redirect rather than in the DNS server itself. If the nslookup don't give
us anything usefull we can still fall back to the 'please choose a country
closest to you!' type solution.
