Thanks for that Frank.
I've had contacts from Akamai and a couple of others off-list now. I've
also checked MaxMind - their database appears to be up to date as well.
I can't check Google at this second, as I'm based in the UK - I'll be
setting something up for such tests tonight or tomorrow, but I seem to
remember that we've previously spoken to them about it.
Thanks,
Chris
