geographic load balancing

Say we have 2 farms of servers in Asia and America.. what hardware or
software is out there that load balances geographically i.e Asia users go to
the Asia farm and America users go to America farm as an example ? Actually
how are IPs ranged for different countries so that any of the load balancing
tools know that this IP is from this country ,so and so forth.. Any article
that talks about IP addressing for countries would help
I know this is not SQL related question but SQL is in the farm and not too
sure whom to askYou cannot load balance SQL Server unless you are doing
read only servers.
If you are talking Web servers and such, many products
could potentially do it from HW to SW. If you want to do
it on Web servers, I'd ask in an IIS or Windows forum.
