I think this is a good idea, but would need a little additional thought. For instance, I'm sitting here in Manhattan and hit a php.net only to be redirected to an site a world away. To eliminate this, either in addition or prior to the ip-country bit, would be to set certain core servers that are highly connected, and/or willing. I'd be happy to donate a server to this, as well. > thoughts? > sane ways of implementing it? :) round-robin, no? ===== Hans Zaunere President, New York PHP http://nyphp.org hans@nyphp.org
