If you know about a nice implementation of such selection I could use as a reference, feel free to share.
I know some Linux distributions use GeoDNS service(s) to redirect a CNAME record dynamically to an approximate close mirror based on the users country-of-origin (based on IP-to-Country IP mappings). Such an CNAME-to-country "implementation" [if chosen] is probably best left to an external/3rd-party DNS provider (with a decent reputation). To avoid maintaining more internal infrastructure than necessary.
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianGeoMirror is one such implementation (self-hosted/-managed) Cheers, Chriztoffer - Volunteer Foreningen for DotSrc - https://dotsrc.org/
