Hi Angelo,

Within DNS we use EDNS Client Subnet for this purpose generally. This means
using a load-balancer (like dnsdist) that can add the EDNS Client Subnet
option. We also have a better suited feature for this called XPF https://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-bellis-dnsop-xpf-04.html

Which load balancers support 'PROXY protocol version 1'? Does Amazon support
this? Or other popular environments?

Do you have links? This could help us estimate if we should add this in
addition to EDNS Client Subnet.

Thanks!
