DNS request handled to geo location of user - bad for SEO?

    I have recently been contacted by a company which claims to be able to somehow root the DNS geographically.
    In other words they would determin the location of the user by IP address & direct them to a hosted version of my site.

    This may resolve some latency issues & timeouts, plus it may also resolve some security issues.

    My question is...
    How will this impact Google's spiders when indexing the site?
    I assume the spider would also get directed to the nearest hosting server...

    Could this effect our SERPS in Google?

    Would it have a postive / negative or neutral effect?

    Any advice appreciated because i have never heard of this kind of DNS request handling previously.
