BTW, do some benchmarking with Net_GeoIP compared to a C wrapper or the apache module - net_geoip is dog slow....

When you compile the maxmind source, look in the examples folder - there's a cool shell script in there. Modify it a bit to take into account the new values, like continent code and some other new things, then have php call that script and parse the output. Far far faster for querying specific IP addresses.

Bit overkill to gain a few msecs, but thought I'd throw it out there. I needed to go that route, as I'm doing a shit load of lookups per day, so the diff between 1usec and 10msecs is huge.
