    Abstract: Systems and methods for a DNS management system utilize a distance-based and/or a performance-based A record. A DNS management system of embodiments receives a request from a client for an IP address associated with a domain name. A database of IP address location records is queried to determine a geographic location of the client in operation according to embodiments. An A record corresponding to the geographically closest available server node may thereafter be delivered to the client. A system operable according to embodiments may additionally or alternatively monitor the performance of available servers and deliver an A record corresponding to the best performing local server.
