If I have two dedicated servers one in Texas and one in Singapore.  I
want people in Asia to be directed to Signapore server, and people in
the Americas to be directed to the server in Texas.  I have want
everyone to beable to go to the domain www.domain.com and be directed
the proper server, but I also want them to be directed to the proper
server if they link directly to a file like
http://www.domain.com/stuff/thing.html.

How do I set this up?

Hi again, ramstore,

I could help you with Apache, but the listed price tag is just not
enough to get me near IIS. I will give you a pointer though, where you
or anybody who wants to try an answer should look: Read up on
rewriting rule at http://www.apache.org

Another thing you should take a closer look is at how to identify the
people you want to redirct. You can e.g. check their top-level domain.
The drawback there is that you will not be able to filter all those
*.com, *.net, and *.org domain. You could also filter by language
chosen in their browser settings... that could be difficult, too,
though, because not everybody has the correct setting - if their
browsers even support this. There are more advanced ways of tracking
access points etc. but you would have to optain data on those and it
might be processing intensive.

Even if you can manage to seperate groups of users, you will still
have to assign them to one of your servers.

None of those problems is really trivial and more information is
needed to give you an answer.

I hope somebody will be able to give you a satisfactory answer,
though!
