Re: New site - minor problem

I'll address hosting in another email. My primary offer, knowing the
politics of PgSQL related site hosting, is a closed-source prorpietary
module that should very easily handle the ip to country needs of the
launch. It provides the country as an environment variable, and has
very, very little overhead. It is production stable and currently
handles 20 million plus hits per day for some of my customers.
