Here is what I created for the Debian web site a number of years
ago when I was the webmaster. The changes needed for flightgear are
straightforward. The one requirement is a cgi which redirects the user
to the proper site:

<form method="get" action="http://cgi.debian.org/cgi-bin/redirect.pl";>
<input type="hidden" name="page" value="/">
<small>Select a server near you:</small>
</font>
<br>
<select name="site" style="font-size:90%;">
<option value="au">Australia</option>
<option value="at">Austria</option>

[lots of countries snipped]

<option value="uk">United Kingdom</option>
<option value="us" selected>United States</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value=" Go " style="font-size:90%;">
<br>
</form>

I can provide the redirect script, but it's pretty simple.
