Regional no, but "it depends". RIPE Atlas probes show that many probes
get a wrong answer:

% blaeu-resolve --requested 100 --type A --country US 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org
[127.0.0.10 127.0.0.2 127.0.0.4] : 65 occurrences

Less issues (but not zero) in France :

% blaeu-resolve --requested 100 --type A --country FR 2.0.0.127.zen.spamhaus.org
