You got a lot of answers telling you to not even try, and I don't know that you can configure any of them in 5 minutes.
That being said there are lots of options that might be "good enough":
- PowerDNS has a Geo backend - http://doc.powerdns.com/html/geo.html
- There are various patches for Bind
- Gdnsd - https://github.com/blblack/gdnsd
- GeoDNS - https://github.com/abh/geodns
I use the latter for the www.pool.ntp.org service where it sends users to one of about 4000 local servers ("pops") in about 100 countries about 15 billion times a month.
