Not that I know of.

That and you'd probably have a lot more false positives here than you expect.

With the amount of "farming out" of basic web-presence services, where the
website's DNS hosting lives really has very little to do with where the company
that owns it is.

I mean, if I get re-routed to India when I call a US-based company for tech
support, why should I expect to have a US-based DNS server for their website?
