But you could, it isn't hard to dump a BGP view into a box from a
border router and use that map to determine the proper DNS records to
return.
It's harder than it looks, given the number of people who pop up on
this list
and ask how to get BGP to Do The Right Thing when 2 paths are the
same length
but vastly differing in bandwidth, number-of-actual-hops, and/or
latency....
Plus you are assuming BGP knows the right answer.
People here are arguing ICMP Echo is a bad metric. BGP makes ICMP
look like the gold standard.
