Why is content different based on source IP?
Who cares? It's not relevant to NANOG. If someone wants to send one HTTP response body to geographic addresses in the nothern hemisphere and a different HTTP response body, that's fine. We don't have to wonder why someone wants to do something. It's reasonable to send "it's summer" to north and "it's winter" to south right now. Except where someone is using five or six season reckoning or some other thing. But it is nice if you can pop a cheery seasonal message up on their webmail portal as they sign in. It does not have to be a super serious earth shattering reason. However, as you get more into the nitty gritty of it and want to do admirable things such as discouraging fraudsters (or even just spammers), the information could be helpful. It's not just about serving content.
