I also assume that this change was for the better for the pool.

In this thread [Far away clients from AWS](https://community.ntppool.org/t/far-away-clients-from-aws/2202) I mentioned in 2022 that I see a lot of traffic from AWS virtual machines from far away. This is now not the case any more after capturing the requests for a few minutes.

So I assume the GeoDNS setup before the change was working suboptimal for some clients.
