Does anybody use LOC records? The GeoIP country database should be plenty
accurate for this and requires no external support or participation.
I see no advantage to implement a LOC record lookup, programmatically figuring
out country/continent a host is from off coordinates alone is not as simple as
passing an IP to the GeoIP API.
Cheers,
