Thanks Josh, The challenge is to redirect users when the hit the sites home page based on the country ID. This seems to require a two step approach. First I need the ip address from the user, then require a look-up based on such to determine the country of the IP address. All transparent to the site visitor MaxMind supplies an API to get real-time data on IP addresses worldwide. They provide a CSV file that is updated monthly that can be downloaded.
I thought there may be a CF script that could simply(easy for me to say) do the look-up and than provide the redirect. As far as the GEO Coding is concerns, I'm not set on MaxMind as the data source. Maxmind seems to have scripts for everything but CF, see: http://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/downloadable I hope this makes more sense. :) Big Thanks for the reply and input!
