Answer : which host is near?

And if you're talking about the servers being "Physically near" to you, try a program called "VisualRoute". My internet connection is really slow today, just search for "VisualRoute" on http://www.download.com
It's Windows-based and it'll pinpoint the servers (based on IP address onto the world map. Not very useful to me, but this may be exactly what you're looking for.
