Hi, all I know other great Geo database player called Quova (http://www.quova.com) with lots of geo databases focused not only in Country, City, State or Province but Bandwidth, Zip, Area Code. We used it with great success at 24/7 RealMedia's Open AdStream and its database is highly customizable and I easy to access. Maybe could be another solution, and Varnish Software could keep contact with Quova people to think about a great module. - -- CheerS .0.
