GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP
|
|
address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database that is
|
|
accurate as of January 2008. This database simply contains IP blocks as keys,
|
|
and countries as values. It should be more complete and accurate than using
|
|
reverse DNS lookups.
|
|
|
|
This module can be used to automatically select the geographically closest
|
|
mirror, to analyze your web server logs to determine the countries of your
|
|
visitors, for credit card fraud detection, and for software export controls.
