    Well,

    I'm sure that everybodies here understand that the city databases 
cannot be accurate more than 50%.

    The way we disperse static IP on commercial accounts there is not 
way they can figure out where the destination is.

    The last best guest will be the peer router before my routers.

    For me the country db is good enought for basic webalizer report for 
the customers websites.
    (This way my customers dont waste queries to countries.nerd.dk on 
non-spam related things)

    Have fun...
