Resolution of IPs based on geography is already fairly broken in many cases. But it should resolve based on where the cloudflare server is, which should be ok.

- michaelmior 13y agoThat's the point. This is arguably worse than resolving based on the location of the client. Although if the server doing the caching is an edge server already located close to the client, this is less of an issue.
- jgrahamc 13y agoCloudFlare does Anycast for both DNS and HTTP so the DNS resolver will be 'close' to the client and the HTTP connection will be made automatically to the 'closest' CloudFlare PoP.
