title: Is google cloud dns latency based routing?
body: <p>I'm testing Google Cloud DNS.</p>
  
  <p>I have 3 A NAMES in my test zone that all resolve to the same DNS name.</p>
  
  <p>The servers are in Australia, Northwest US, and India.</p>
  
  <p>I am located in Northwest US.</p>
  
  <p>When I do a tracert on my DNS name, it goes to the IP in the Australian data center.</p>
  
  <p>From me to the Northwest US data center has much lower latency.</p>
  
  <p>Why does it pick Australia?  I thought latency based routing was "built-in" to an anycast network.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance</p>
