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

Like everyone else said, use mod_geoip and then use php or any other way you can get environment or apache notes with to figure out the coutnry and do a redirect. mod_geoip is fast, very. IT would be faster if it could effectively do everything cached in memory, but even the on-disk way is lightning fast.
Also, the people at digitalenvoy.net must be not so bright sadly. Its kinda stupid to sue google over a patent that google is not using directly. even IF digitalenvoy would have a patent on it, they need to sue akamai and not google, because google simply uses akamai to figure out the country.
