hello, I'm trying to make a special counter that says from which country the visitors are. I know that there is REMOTE_HOST but it only show's an IP(which is default, for a IIS), I tried nslookup but I only got an access denied when i'm trying to run it. Does anyone have a suggestion on this? I rather don't rely on some service who supports it. Can a reversed DN's lookup can be arranged in anothere way or programed in ASP(Vbscript)?I heard also that theree are databases who list several ISP and therer IP's but would that make the server slow?
 
>> but would that make the server slow?

yes in a .asp page. that project would be well suited for an ISAPI filter that could use a seperate thread for the processing. There are likely commercial products that do just that. -There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't-
