Don't forget that most users will get the address out of "some"

Absolutely. This is even more true in our case as many of our
clients are serve very local areas and 2-3 ISPs and 3-4 mobile
providers probably cover 90%+ of their clients.<br>

Which essentially means that the time to get data from the
authoritative servers is irrelevant in almost all cases.
Availability vs. network problems would be more important in my
book.<br>

My concern with relying on RTT is that since most of our sites are
very low volume, will it be effective or does it work better when
a host has higher traffic? How long do resolvers remember a
particular NS's RTT?<br>
<br>
We have a handful of Europe based clients, but their number is
quite small, so I'm not sure if we'd be significantly hurting the
majority by introducing a high-latency server into the mix or not,
or even how to evaluate the results.<br>
<br>
I realize I've probably spent more time thinking about it than
I'll possibly save anyone else anyway, so perhaps that's my
answer.<br>
<br>
I appreciate all the input.<br>
