Re: Geolocation issue with a twist

[Mike Hammett <nanog () ics-il net>]

Often people have issues with their IP blocks being geolocated incorrectly. Sometimes it's an error on the database or 
website's behalf, while other times it's due to a transfer. There used to be a wiki that had a few websites to go to 
solve these issues, but that site has been gone for years 
(https://web.archive.org/web/20130122055317/http://nanog.cluepon.net/index.php/GeoIP). We've made a site to hopefully 
collect this information.

Here is snapshot of Geolocation issue showing a Spanish ISP registered with 
a GeoLocation database our IP block, pointed to the correct location. But 
customers are getting railroaded with spam and failing apps (due to Spain).
