Regional DNS Server Support
Will NextDNS eventually support a choice of servers for different regions? I am connecting from Asia at the moment and the average DNS resolution time is approx 354ms! Sometimes this goes higher than 500ms. By comparison, Google/Cloudflare resolves in 8-10ms.
It would be great if NextDNS could have regional IP address to drop down the resolution time.
Thoughts/Suggestions?

Give ping.nextdns.io a try, and see which server you using, after seeing how this website works, try out these links:
Anycast:
anycast.dns.nextdns.io/123abc (will choose either 1 or 2)
anycast.dns1.nextdns.io/123abc (self explanatory)
anycast.dns2.nextdns.io/123abc (self explanatory)
Ultralow:
ultralow.dns.nextdns.io/123abc (will choose either 1 or 2)
ultralow.dns1.nextdns.io/123abc (self explanatory)
ultralow.dns2.nextdns.io/123abc (self explanatory)

Siam Mehedi They said that they don't recommend manually setting it up like that for stability and reliability but yeah at times like this it could be better for the User, maybe a priority setting on NextDNS that lets the user pick a server and it will use that server as long as it works and will go back to picking based on a ton of possible factors, also probably why it might be connecting to a further server for more stability and other factors it decides from.
