Distributing writes to all D.C.s? or reads? If each D.C. has data specific to that particular geo, why do you have to read from remote D.C. ?
You can easily incorporate logic to re-direct operation(either write/read) to appropriate(local) D.C. Still wondering why you want to do so?. Am assuming you want to store data as per I.P. (geo location data) ..Anyways, it was not very clear from your question what you are trying to do. Thanks, Jahangir Mohammed.
