It uses a file based database that is +accurate as of March 2002. 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. |
