what I meant is that network lists are a good starting point
(as Oliver proposed:
REGION : <NAME> {
       <IP>,<PREFIXLEN>;
       <IP>,<PREFIXLEN>;
       ....
}!
)
But who will serve the clients that are not in one of the networks?
but this is more a request routing problem and not a distribution
problem.
