Maxmind www.maxmind.com is a fairly good indicator of what geo-locators are seeing, but I recall a recent thread here that there have been disagreements between the various geolocation services. I think that some of it depends on the reference sources i.e. how many and what the algorithms are and also the update frequency. Using plain old whois data, for example, is notoriously unreliable, but definitely "usable" as a reference. Might be nice if search engines and cdn's had a verification site for checking and suggesting corrections i.e. www.favoritesearchengine.com/ipverifiy Best, Martin On Fri, Jan 2, 2009 at 9:36 AM, Frank Bulk - iName.com <frnkblk () iname com>wrote:
We were assigned a new block from ARIN two weeks ago and are getting several reports from end users that the Spanish and German versions of Google's search page are coming up. IP2Location and Maxmind are mostly correct, but there appears to be no way for me to verify that Google and Akamai have 96.31.0.0/20 listed correctly. Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction so I can make an authoritative check. Thanks, Frank
