The present invention relates to methods and systems for providing dynamic domain name system (DNS) for inbound route control. For instance, the present invention provides a method that considers load data for each of the network locations that provide an application, such online content or a web site available at multiple geographically distinct data centers, as well as performance data for paths through the various network service providers that serve the locations where the application is available. The IP address that is delivered by the DNS is dynamically controlled to select which IP address, i.e., provider, provides the best path.
