I just lit up a new IP netblock (assigned directly from ARIN) and the compa=
nies that provide Geolocate databases do not have the correct location info=
rmation available yet.
Specifically Maxmind (http://www.maxmind.com/) thinks we are in Canada and =
IP2LOCATION (http://www.ip2location.com/) has no data.
For the most part this is benign or at worst slightly impacting since I oft=
en get redirected to global load balance nodes up in Canada instead of loca=
lly in the North West, however, the more major issue I am running into is t=
hat Google chooses to redirect all my users to www.google.ca<http://www.goo=
gle.ca>.
So my questions to others are:
1. How do I get my data updated in all of the geolocate providers dat=
abases as quickly as possible?
2. What geolocate database does Google use (is it homegrown?) and how=
do I get them to update my data?
Thanks.
-Eric
