Rage4 DNS - GeoDNS basics

Rage4’s GeoDNS features are designed to optimize and personalize your traffic routing like never before. Here’s how you can take full advantage of our cutting-edge functionality:

Geo Regions

Our unique Geo Regions algorithm segments the world into nested regions for precise targeting. For example, imagine creating two CNAME records for geo.example.com:

• One points to poland.example.com.
• The other to easteurope.example.com.

Users in Poland will seamlessly resolve to poland.example.com, while those in Bulgaria will be directed to easteurope.example.com, thanks to their shared parent region, East Europe. With our flexible hierarchy—from specific countries like Poland to broader regions like Europe or Global—you can easily tailor responses based on user location.

Closest First

Deliver blazing-fast responses with the Closest First mode, which ensures users are directed to the geographically nearest server. All you need is to specify the latitude and longitude for your records, and we’ll handle the rest, optimizing the user experience at lightning speed.

AS Number Targeting

Target users on specific networks or cloud providers by restricting responses to particular Autonomous System (AS) numbers. Whether your clients are tied to a single provider or a specific network, you’re in control of who gets what.

Combine for Maximum Precision

Take your GeoDNS strategy to the next level by combining modes. For example:

• Use Closest First for a specific Geo Region.
• Serve traffic from a Chinese cloud only when users match the China Geo Region and an AS number.

With Rage4 GeoDNS, you’re not just routing traffic—you’re designing seamless, high-performing user experiences tailored to every client’s needs.
