Finding the home country of a client using only the IP address can be
|
|
difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address can
|
|
provide some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any
|
|
useful domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers no help when
|
|
looking for country.
|
|
|
|
This module comes bundled with a database of countries where various IP
|
|
addresses have been assigned. Although the country of assignment will
|
|
probably be the country associated with a large ISP rather than the
|
|
client herself, this is probably good enough for most log analysis
|
|
applications, and under test has proved to be as accurate as
|
|
reverse-DNS and WHOIS lookup.
