I want to create droplets for a website in New York, London and Singapore. All 3 droplets will have the same static HTML content.

I can only find reference to DigitalOcean having 3 name servers.

ns1.digitalocean.com
ns2.digitalocean.com
ns3.digitalocean.com

How can I create a DNS record for each region that points to a server in that region for the same A record?

We have 3 DNS server addresses but these are proxied via CloudFlare to provide high-availability and low latency anywhere in the world. You can read more about this here: https://www.cloudflare.com/case-studies-digital-ocean.

    Okay, so how do I setup different IPs per region?

    I thought this is how you do content distribution to different areas of the world?
