I have a customer who received a new assignment from ARIN, but the GeoIP data is returning Canada rather than the US as the location of the IP prefix. Google redirects to www.google.ca and some other sites aren't working correctly because they expect a US IP. Does anyone have any advice on how to update the GeoIP and other similar databases?
Wouldn't a SWIP for a sub-allocation work?
I was under the impression that most of the GeoIP services fed off of WHOIS registration data points.
Than again, maybe I have no idea. ;-)
I don't know how Google does GeoIP, but not all of them work off SWIP. Perhaps Chuck should ask Google instead of NANOG? -- TTFN, patrick
