This is basically the thing. The location might help a little bit, so it's worth taking into consideration. In some countries "international bandwidth" is much more expensive than local bandwidth, so there's that too. As someone else pointed out; it's not obvious that humans would be much better at picking the location than MaxMind. As it's working now server admins send me a mail when it's wrong (or just add it as a comment when they add the server). I don't think this happens more than every few months. Martin made a patch to allow users to override the automatic selection when the server is added; which for IPv6 will be necessary - but will also save me a minute of work every few months. :-) It'll be up on the site when I move it to the new servers. - ask -- http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/ _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
