This can easily be realized within bind.
All you need is some knowledge of bind and access to it's conf.
Also it is part of "normal" routing, IF the bind conf is setup properly,
if named files are correct it will automatically connect people to the
"shortest" route.

I think UltraDNS' "Directional DNS" can do the above. See:

Could be expensive, though.
