It's a possibility, but I had envisioned something simpler

That's exactly the idea, but I chose to use pdns-backend-pipe +

Hi,
Thanks to the help of Adam Borowski we now got a working solution for an
automatic mirror selection scheme.
Please help us test this infrastructure so that I can convince the DSA
to add it to our servers or at least give us a delegation from a
debian.{net,org} subzone! ;)
Again: I have no

I've never worked with it myself, but my limited understanding is that
it would need work from all mirror admins and even if that was feasibl

user's country.
It's a simple DNS based geographic mirror selection idea.
It works by:
- using logic based on D-I to select a mirror from a copy of
