Thanks, great feedback. I like the idea - with technical details to be defined, ie. if it makes sense to put this in a separate thread, etc.: can we get in touch privately for this? Since you are already using the API I would be looking for: 1) any working API code/example to share to speed up development and 2) any information about the overall product architecture and figures, ie. how often Geo IP data are refreshed, load of the API on the server and on the network, etc. Cheers, Paolo _______________________________________________ pmacct-discussion mailing list http://www.pmacct.net/#mailinglists
