for some sites at the same location nonoptimal route from client to CF POP
What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?
used nslookup and dig and ping and also https://dnschecker.org
What feature, service or problem is this related to?
I don’t know
What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
I reported this few days ago and though I just have to live with it: Route to US when client and server is in EU
However I noticed my other server, on the same pc, routes directly over the closest regional POP as expected and not over the US.
So it can not be because of a global “CF does not peer with DT issue”.
Then I check the DNS records all over the world of a third, older site using CF. Medium traffic mostly from US and EU regions.
I see that most of the world is using the same IP, but some EU countries have their unique IP, and US is covered with two distinct IPs.
For me it looks like the regional POP is utilized when traffic is over some threshold, otherwise DNS points to a default or central CF server.
