As a followup to this, I did create a random subdomain (a UUID) and included it in my main site certificate. I never even did so much as a DNS lookup on it, but Google did still find it, now some 2 w

Route53 is also a bit more expensive than Google DNS, but has more features.

Not sure if you have service with us, but our free hosted DNS is powered by ClouDNS (their anycast plans).

Even though the geo-located result is cached it is still geo-located. Or did I misinterpret your question and you thought that the question revolves around location of the DNS server itself?

-Customized reverse DNS

I am aware of RamNode so far but they are a bit pricy for my small testing purposes. My intended use is mainly as a monitoring server, with DNS and Mail slave functionality (low traffic, no bulk/spam)

I don't think technically it makes much sense to hack geo-location on the DNS server. Since the DNS resolver could help to cache the result locally, therefore if the clients get the query result from

Use DO DNS, it even allows white labelling.

I have absolutely no problems running this over SSL for freedns.

But it doesn't seem to be doing that for some strange reason, and it can't find the files locally. DNS on the VPS is set to Google's so on that end it should be fine aswell. It is a very strange issue

I was looking for some type of geo-located DNS hosting for my HA cluster. I heard Rage4 had it, but they're phasing out free accounts. I've also heard that NSOne does, but I can't find it (Image)

IP space migrations are fine, as long as there's sufficient notice. A good provider will have a transition period, where both IPs work, so that you can switch over DNS without downtime.

I have a couple vps that I use for dns on their BHS C2 node and have not skipped a beat. Actually, those 2 vps have very high uptime(99.995%) since last April when they were purchased.

Client could use these kind of box for reverse proxy(w/ Geo DNS, I mean if the visitor is from CN, then point it to that box, if not, point to backend directly)
