Hey team,

    Do we support geolocation based or latency based routing in DNS level instead of load balancer level ?

    Can see documentations in cloudflare for this done at load balancer level. But, do we have it at DNS level ? When i tried adding records for DNS, could not find this option.

   Problem to solve: I have hosted my site in multiple regions and want to resolve user with the nearest region. If we maintain this load balancer, that would be hosted in any of the DCs, which would be a latency to user who is accessing site from a far away region from load balancer. Or, you can help me if cloudflare offers any solutions to overcome this problem.

Deploying a load balancer to the DNS records is what you would need to do. This is not a physical load balancer - it would exist in every single location in Cloudflare’s network and respect the rules you define.

Cloudflare Load Balancing · Cloudflare Load Balancing docs has lots of detail but pay particular attention to the sections on Traffic & Origin Steering under Concepts which will explain a lot of the flexibility.

Hey simon,

    Thanks for replying. So, you mean that to configure our domains in cloudflare load balancer and point the load balancer ip to our domain in the DNS records ?
