VoXaLoT takes these results and sorts them and attempts to guess the closest match. VoXaLoT doesn't submit any geographical numbers to e164.org during the DNS request, and in fact without modifying the DNS code I doubt this would be possible.

I have a largish database of acurate long/lat information on Australian exchanges, and it's easy to cross ref this with numbers assigned to an exchange.

There is a DNS type called RDATA, which allows you to store "ICBM" (missle) co-ordinates in DNS. So... if you pull the geographical location from DNS of the exchange, then mangle the results with the RDATA information you should get a more accurate match.
