It uses a file based database +that is accurate as of March 2002. This database simply contains IP blocks +as keys, and countries as values. This database should be more complete and +accurate than using reverse DNS lookups. + +This module can be used to automatically select the geographically closest +mirror, to analyze your web server logs to determine the countries of your +visitors, for credit card fraud detection, and for software export controls. + +WWW: http://maxmind.com/geoip/ |
