Most of the GeoIP stuff out there is less than accurate. I think this is something that will certainly take time to iron out. ISPs pop up switch around so much these days, it seems like it would be a nightmarish database to maintain.

Thanks for the info smokey, I've worked on a couple solutions myself, but yours seems the easiest. I worked with the free version of GeoIPmax and the database version is horrible (took me forever to figure out a good index, and even then it was slow) and the binary version is decent. But I think the one smokey posted above the simplest for our end.

BTW Smokey, would you be willing to verify some code (my zango removal tool (link to thread)) and post the results?
