It would be great if it was possible to override the geolocation somehow. Mirrorbrain locates me in the US, so upgrades to my NL system take a transatlantic roundtrip, while much faster mirrors are available in DE. The country code for your mailserver's IPv4-range quite clearly says NL, and looking it up here (on our local geoip database), also says NL.
However, looking your IPv6 address, it belongs to Hurricane Electric, in the US. This is exactly why GeoIP is just above useless. The company I work for have about 1 million IP addresses (/12). Maxminds dabase is incorrect for us in about 15-20% of the cases (depending how Maxmind woke that morning). And that's just for country. For city it's useless for real. If you try to get Maxmind to change it's database your up for a roll-a-coaster ride. Actually, to get correct country mapping, the owner of an IP range just needs to create the appropriate objects in the RIPE database. (or whoever is allocating the ranges).
No. It does not work like that. RIPE-db is at best considered if there is no other option. Trust me on this. Been doing IP registry for 23 years now.
Okay, how about explaining how it does work then? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.3°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
