Have you considered using the dnslists ACL condition and set an
appropriate ACL message variable to check in a router? There's an
example at the end of section 30 for how to query dnslists for multiple
explicit keys at the same time:

The countries.nerd.dk zone contains two-letter ISO 3166 country-code
subdomains you can use to determine whether an IP is from that
particular country.
