First thing we definitely need is a way to determine with fairly good accuracy, whether a host is in the U.S.
I really don't see how that's possible, given the possibility of me taking my laptop to Ecuador, dialing into a stateside ISP, and being issued an IP address in the ISP's domain. In other words, anything that bases a decision on host location by inference on the domain will inherently be rooted in the notion that hosts in that domain are stuck to the ground "nearby". ______c_________________________________________________________________ Mike M Nally * IBM % Tivoli * Austin TX * How quickly we forget that mailto:m5@tivoli.com mailto:m101@io.com * "deer processing" and "data http://www.io.com/~m101/ * processing" are different!
