I guess there's no magic at all. The target servers are able to
determine the client's location (by its IP range) and redirecting the
requests to the nearest "real" server. You also can see that some
services are provided throug Akamai:

r...@somewhere# host content-xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com
content-xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com   CNAME   
content-xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com.edgekey.net
content-xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com.edgekey.net       CNAME   e2622.c.akamaiedge.net
e2622.c.akamaiedge.net  A       92.122.106.196
