Don't know for sure, but I think some sites do that by having a lookup table for ranges of IP addresses associated with various countries - the server obviously knows the client's IP address, to communicate with it. Of course, given VPNs and remote points-of-presence (not to mention TOR, probably), that's hardly bulletproof. -- eMail: mailto:rlha...@smart.net Home page: http://www.smart.net/~rlhamil/ Facebook, MySpace, AIM, Yahoo, etc: ask _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
