Is there a more accurate method to determine the country of origin for an IP than the methods I've described above?
Yes, at least three companies have databases of pretty much all /24s and above mapped up to a zip code.
These DBs are a joke. I have /19's that are SWIPed to the billing office but used in remote POPs. No-one is ever gonna figure out where they really are. Except for the IPs I set RFC1712 LOC records on. I see load-balancing by geo-code do way more harm than good.
