Hi Norman,
How would that work in the case of say Zenithtech when they were hosting in
the US? and the fact that they are using name based hosting?

Hi Mark and Nigell

You can have a bloody good stab at it. Bascially grab the IP address of the
incoming request, and then query the RIPE database which will give you a
country code for the IP address. It's not foolproof, but it'll take you a
long way towards achieving what you're after.

HTH

Norman
