[pacnog] Ways to direct traffic based on geographic location
All-
I've got a customer
who wants to mirror their website off-island, and I was wondering if there was a
good way to direct requests to that site by geographic location. For example,
for customers on-island I would like them to hit the local server. All other's
should go to the remote location.
Now, this is a
specific situation, but does anyone know of a more general way to route packets
based on the source address and rewrite the destination
address?
For the previous
situation, I've decided to go with using a rewrite on the web server to redirect
based on the requester's IP address (using the free database at http://www.hostip.info/), although split DNS
was one thing that was considered.
Thoughts?
