To me it seems, as if you lost sight of the forest for the trees (lets
hope I translated this right and no abusive meaning comes out).

You need the shortest network path? Try traceroute.
If you want network path information for selecting "best" Tier2
resolvers, a small Java applet using ICMP-Echo and Traceroute would do
the trick, IMHO. I did something compareable using netselect (a cli
tool) just today to select the "best" vpn endpoint.

The result looks along those lines:
