An interesting link about this issue:

http://software77.net/cgi-bin/ip-country/geo-ip.pl

I took a look at the database, it is generated from the delegation lists published by the regional registries. It doesn't appear like they have made an effort to adjoin adjacant ranges assigned to the same country.

Meanwhile, I have made my script available here:

   www.daemonsecurity.com/src/ip-rules.pl

which adjoins ranges from the same country and outputs it nicely in CIDR format rather than the decimal number representation used at the site you refer to.

To use the above script, you need to download the delegation lists from the regional registries, and note that there is no way of creating country wise rules for ranges assigned directly by IANA.

Cheers, Erik
