22 Jun 2009 - GeoDNS plug-in for Simple DNS Plus

This new plug-in provides a different DNS response depending on what country a DNS request originates from. This can be used to direct Internet traffic (web, FTP, streaming media, etc.) to a server geographically closer to the end-user, or with contents specific for a geographical area.

This is exactly the same that large web-sites such as Google.com and CNN.com do, and what companies like Akamai charge a lot of money to provide.
Now this functionality is available as a free plug-in for Simple DNS Plus.

For more details see KB1284.

Download geodns-plugin.zip (31 KB) and un-zip it to the "plugins" sub-directory under the directory where Simple DNS Plus is installed. After this the plug-in will be available in the Simple DNS Plus Options dialog / Plug-Ins section.

Note that this plug-in works with Simple DNS Plus v. 5.2 and later only.
