I just lit up a new IP netblock (assigned directly from ARIN) and the companies 
that provide Geolocate databases do not have the correct location information 
available yet.

Specifically Maxmind (http://www.maxmind.com/) thinks we are in Canada and 
IP2LOCATION (http://www.ip2location.com/) has no data.

For the most part this is benign or at worst slightly impacting since I often 
get redirected to global load balance nodes up in Canada instead of locally in 
the North West, however, the more major issue I am running into is that Google 
chooses to redirect all my users to www.google.ca<http://www.google.ca>.

So my questions to others are:

1.       How do I get my data updated in all of the geolocate providers 
databases as quickly as possible?

2.       What geolocate database does Google use (is it homegrown?) and how do 
I get them to update my data?

Thanks.

-Eric
