I don't think apache alone can do this. You may confuse geo-location with apache's built in accepted browser language lookup? That doesn't even come close to the accuracy I need.




Oh and I just came across another BS patent. Meanwhile, geo-locating has been patented too, to these folks http://www.digitalenvoy.net

They are currently suing google over this



I use maxmind's mod_geoip. it kicks ass. i notice no difference in server load on extremely high volume servers.
