GeoIP

Latest comment: 5 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Isn't geoip, and other dns techniques used for example by CDNs and other big sites a for of split-horizon DNS? It is different from DNS level loadballncing, becuase still for example one A record is returned, but for different clients a different request are returned. I think there should separate section about it, but i never seen term split-view DNS actually, so it can be not proper terminology.

I disagree. Split-horizon is a pretty standard terminology; there's even a sister Split horizon route advertisement article as well. BIND, specifically, uses the view keyword/context to define this — see mdoc.su/n/named.conf.5 — so, the split view DNS term would be pretty standard as well. This concept is similar to GeoIP, but it's completely not the same, and in ISC BIND, for example, the split view isn't really known at all as GeoIP at all.
