The protocols don't support this cleanly. So far nothing I've seen would
allow a single URL to be used to access the "nearest" server. Until
something like that exists (i.e. the end users don't need to know a thing
about network topology) it seems pointless to align WWW servers with
the topology. Your suggested use of redirects just complicates things --
consider how the URLs would end up looking in a search engine.
