Should I be using GeoDNS routing, or latency routing?
Hello LET,
I'm not sure if I should be using GeoDNS routing or latency routing on Route53. I have a bunch of assorted servers in locations around the world, and I want the user to be routed to the server that is nearest to them. Which solution would achieve this better?
Thanks!

Latency, assuming "nearest" only matters with respect to networking. Geo would be for when you higher-level goals, like pointing people from China to a server specifically located in China.
