Location Record (LOC)
The Location Record (LOC) is used to store geographic information about a domain, including its latitude, longitude, altitude, and the physical size of the entity.
While rarely seen by the average user, the LOC record is a powerful tool for network engineers and data center managers. It allows for the creation of geographic maps of internet infrastructure and can be used by location-aware services to determine the physical proximity of a server or office location without requiring a separate database.
