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.
