I think a demonstration would say much more than what I could write about it. So what follows is the Maxmind GeoIP extension for TYPO3 in action.

This extension is really simple and relies on mod-geoip, an Apache module available from Maxmind which works in conjunction with Maxmind's various GeoIP databases.

The reason I use mod-geoip for this extension is because it runs much faster than the available PHP modules that can be used to query a Maxmind database.

Well, this is just a first look at this geoip extension and I think I'll play around with a bit to test it out before uploading it to the repository.
