Geolocation
Hi guys,
I was given a geolocation database by the former web developer for a website. My client wants to see where users are coming from and direct them to certain parts of the site - clicking on Careers takes you the US careers if you're from the US, European careers if you're from Europe, etc. You're still able to switch between the two, but the first step is for convenience.
Problem is... it doesn't always work. So I put up a version that will let me collect data and sooner or later I'll be able to find some IPs that are registering incorrectly. I send the URL to the overseas people who were having problems, but I'm hoping some of you guys will help too =)

It looks like this database was made by MaxMind LLC - it's an open source project. Do you guys have any suggestions? Should I stick with these guys? Know of any better solutions?
