Would clients actually choose the fastest connection? That page says that the client will typically choose the first address, so you can use this for load distribution among servers, but it doesn't say anything about client latency. If I have 5K users in US, 2K in Europe, and 1K in Asia, I wouldn't want the traffic to evenly distributed. I would want users to go to the closest/fastest server. The StackOverflow post above looks like a good start.
