GeoDNS is a powerful set of tools that allow you to determine how end-users will reach your domains based on their location (or other unique attributes).
You can use GeoDNS to create rules that permit or prevent specific users from accessing your content. For example, you can use this technology to:
Take back control of your traffic with IP Filters. You decide who can access your site and who can't based on their location, IP address (IPv4 and IPv6), ASN (Autonomous System Network) of the resolving name server or EDNS client subnet.
Available for A, AAAA, CNAME, and now ANAME records.
Our GeoIP engine automatically directs end-users to the closest servers for the fastest response times.
GeoProximity targeting let's you hone in on users from as broad as regional, to as granular as city level lookups! You can even specify the longitude and latitude of your lookups.
Available for A, AAAA, CNAME, and now ANAME records.
GTD uses zone-based routing techniques to optimize and direct your domain's traffic flow.
Works at the domain level. Once enabled, you can create unique records for the following five regions.
This method corrects any errors caused by incorrect IP to Location mapping databases from GeoIP services (IP Filters and GeoProximity); as well as incorrect lookups by poor peering practices.
Constellix is the only platform that offers these two services together, giving you the most accurate configurations in the industry. (Patent pending)
Our GeoIP servers use EDNS-Client-Subnet to give you the most accurate response based on the actual location of your IP (as opposed to the closest regional server). Additionally, the Geo backend can be used to provide service over several clusters. Any of which can be taken out of use easily, say for maintenance purposes.
Ask your resolver if they support EDNS and learn how you can start creating even more precise configurations. Constellix has established itself as the industry leader in EDNS offerings, and encourages resolvers to consider adopting EDNS technology for greater accuracy.
These features can be defined on a per record basis to ANAME, CNAME, and AAAA records.
