Since we update at least twice a year, we could keep it fairly well up to date, and it would save users having to go get and update the db themselves. It would add about 1.5MB to the BIND distribution (depending on whether we use the country or city level).<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Votes, comments welcome. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Vicky<br class=""><div class="">
