I'm hoping to have reviews of "Know Your Enemy" (Adison Wesley) and Mastering Regular Expressions (ORA) posted by Mondayish. Not something that is going to make me popular but maybe we should keep a tally of who has been given review copies and then simply not give them any more books until they

I think they contact every major network provider (and RIPE/ARIN ...), take them out to lunch give them a few freebies and ask them for the list of IPs they have and where they're physically used. Probably more accurate than relying on DNS geo stuff. Geoff Leon Brocard ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) said

There's an easier way of doing it instead of using RIPE etc. You just need money. You can use 3DNS (f5.com). Which makes a ~ 95% accurate guess of where the originating IP is from. Then you can direct the luser to the server with the right content for the right country. F5 then do all the monkey

I'd be very grateful if people could prod plough.barnyard.co.uk on port 2323, give it a few IP addresses, and let me know if it returns bogus data. If it does, can you tell me what address you gave it, what country it should return, and if you know, the subnet number and the RIPE tag for the netw
