This is probably a low level question.

When a DNS request (from a DNS server) goes to the authoritative
server, and there are many Web Hosts (geographically located)throughout
the country ....... how does the authoritative server determine the
geographic location of the DNS server, so that it can give the IP
address of the closest Web server ?

Thanks in advance
