Hurray!
Finally, our DNS upgrades are done.
after some quick tests, we found out that the geo has a 'otherwise goto' type part, where if a region isn't declared, it's sent to our 'world' view (our US based servers).
Once I found htis out, I simply made our DNS load the 'world' and 'europe'. By doing this, we cut the ram usage from a nasty 46MB to 13MB, only a couple megs above stock :)
We've also added a Germany DNS server to help with dns pickup times - hurray!
Users should notice a speed up (we hope).
We're currently considering another 1 more DNS server over in Texas, but haven't decided yet.

Our DNS setup doesn't know where a user is in that sense, so it doesn't know where is closer.
There is a way todo that, but it's _very_ costly.
The idea is to just allow for a greater chance of a user getting our IP's
Now that i've configured the software properly, it allows me to distro a few simple files
and have a new server online within 20 minutes :)
