Route53: Is it possible to get Name Servers Hosted in Specific Country for from Route53?

0

In India 'gov.in' domains used by the government websites require the Name Servers to be hosted in India (Indian IP Address). One of the customers has procured a 'gov.in' domain from an external DNS provider and is trying to use Route53 as DNS service. But they are getting an error that states that the IP address behind the Nameserver is from outside India and by compliance, the Nameservers should use an IP address that is from India.

So, is there a way to get the me Name Servers that are hosted in India to support 'gov.in' domains?

Route 53 DNS servers use Anycast., which means the DNS servers around the world have the same IP. More info at A Case Study in Global Fault Isolation

https://aws.amazon.com/route53/features/#The_Amazon_Route_53_Global_Network list several R53 locations in India. If you ping the name servers from India, the response times is likely to be less than 10 ms.
