Yes, OnlineGeo is intended for online update and insert of country
information by IP addresses.
But, we strongly recommend to populate country information manually or using
some other sources.
For example, to obtain country information for Asia, we used
http://www.apnic.net.
To switch from offline to online mode:
1. Run index once. Data from files specified by "Countries" commands will be
copied to "countries" table.
2. Remove "Countries" directives from "aspseek.conf".
3. Add directive "OnlineGeo on" to "aspseek.conf".
If "AllowCountries" directive is used in "aspseek.conf", then "index" will
periodically check existing country information and update it on the fly and
insert missing info.
However, this feature is not thoroughly tested on real site.

Thanks for report.
