last month, while in western australia, geoloc pegged me in utah. this morning, geoloc pegged me in Kansas, while resident in Maryland.
Why is there no way to do any of this?Because it is impractical to assume an IP address can be mapped uniquely to a geolocation.Why is it impractical? If I have a server in Germany and in Quebec, why would it be impractical to have the logic in place such that European visitors would be contacting the server in Germany, and visitors from US/Canada -- the one in Quebec?

secure dynamic update works. waht is TWC's incentive to allow clients to update tjheir reverse DNS delegations, esp when clients are leaving them for T-Mobile? your sugesting the cretion and deployment of something that already exists in the LOC RR. Your rational is that LOC isn't used. If thats the case, why would your proposal be any more successful? /bill
