What are LOC Records?

LOC (Location) records are DNS records that specify the physical location of a domain or host. They contain geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude, altitude) and precision information, allowing applications to determine the physical location associated with a domain name.

Key Components:

  • Latitude/Longitude: Geographic coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds
  • Altitude: Height above sea level in meters
  • Size: Physical size of the location in meters
  • Precision: Horizontal and vertical precision of the coordinates

How LOC Records Work:

  1. Applications query DNS for LOC records of a domain
  2. The DNS server returns the geographic coordinates and precision data
  3. Applications can use this data for location-based services
  4. Common uses include CDN optimization, compliance, and geographic routing
