I have 10 servers worldwide. I need a hosted DNS loadbalancing service, to whom I could provie all the IP addresses of my servers and everytime a visitor requests an file, the DNS should check which server is most close to the client and deliver from there.

Look forward to hear good managed solutions!I seriously doubt this will help but little bit interesting so I will post it:http://wiki.blitzed.org/DNS_balancingDNS doesn't have the smarts for that. You need a load balancer(software or hardware) that will accommodate you.Regards,What you need is a CDN service (Content Delivery Network). There are a few providers offering this (the biggest I think is Akamai).Can somebody provide me something like that?Can somebody provide me something like that?
