It is simple with DNS: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/tinydns-data.html#differentiation You just need to find a database of IPs and geographic regions and then you can assign location codes to your DNS records. This isn't load balancing per se, but it would direct DNS response traffic based on geographic information. People who lookup an A record in the UK would not get the same A record from the US.
