hi, i think microsoft (msn) use the method below that i gave..... because I am currently located in japan, but my system is set to en-au, and it always sends me to australian site - even, in english and japanese OS... but change it to japan system setting and i go to msn japan (for japan you get "jp").
i think the network idea you talked about is a bit hard to do... seen a site that is trying to map everything, or something like that..... but i think system setting is best - because i am in japan but i cant speak japanese, so i want what my system is set to. chad > I could imagine if you had a globally reproduced network you could put the > logic at the router level, probably what yahoo and microsoft do.
