You have to ping each, which takes you right back to where it is now. It's just pure numbers - there are too many servers to efficiently list.
You could sort the list by numerical distance of the IP address. Ie. convert the address to a 32-bit number and calculate the absolute value of the difference between it and the client.
A more sophisticated algorithm would have some knowledge of what networks are close to each other and "shortcut" the above calculation by that distance.
