… you set up GSLB for your own personal infrastructure.

For some time I’ve had kit in both Sydney and the US.  Whilst most of my key services run off of my VPS in the US, and I intend to keep it that way, it seems a shame not to make better use of the kit I have in Sydney.

So thanks to PowerDNS, the geo backend, nerd.dk’s IP->Country mapping, and some experimentation, I can now start balancing services across the sites.

Currently, I’m only using it for the Single Sign-On system (more on that in another post), but ultimately I’ll expand it to cover a few more things – maybe even this blog.
