Yeah, I've thought about adding that. For now though the primary
concern is to have enough servers that we can push using the country
zones a bit more. Specifically then I'd like ~20+ servers in each
country so all the numbered zones can be unique and still have a
couple of different servers to spread the load.
I think the idea of automatic location of a near server should be
pursued more.
A while ago there was a prototype shown and it did not perform bad.
Such things probably work better than trying to explain that you should
use your local country zone.
One fixed domainname to be used by everyone, and highly dynamic change
of the returned IP addresses (determined by requester address, current
server quality, load etc) is better than try to subdivide the server
pool in so many ways and have the end-user cope with the problem.
We all know that many end-users do not want to spend more than a minute
on configuring NTP, and they will certainly not go back to modify the
config if another solution has become more optimal.
