• a domain name server (DNS) receiving a request to resolve a content request to obtain a network address for content from a content delivery network;
• a database storing access network configuration information comprising an estimated geographic location of an end user device in communication with the access network in relation to a geographic location of a resolver of the access network;
• a computing device in communication with the file database, the computing device comprising:
• at least one processor;
• at least one communication port for communication with the database;
• a tangible computer-readable medium with one or more executable instructions stored thereon, wherein the at least one processor executes the one or more instructions to perform the operations of:
• obtaining the access network configuration information from the database;
• and
• instructing the DNS to return an anycast address for the content request based at least on the estimated geographic location of the end user device in communication with the access network in relation to the resolver of the access network, the estimated geographic location of the end user device different than the geographic location of a resolver of the access network.
