geo-location redirect (6)

geo-location redirect

ok so here's a quick question.. I'm currently using domainmanager and point all my domains there, from there I can set-up weighted URL redirects/etc the reason why I like this is I can optimize much easier cause I still see stats...

now I have domains with tens of thousands of UV/day which are segmented by country. In the case of a parked page with say a google feed content is optimized automatically but on co-regs you have different links for each country..

anybody on the same boat and has a solution? it might be something simple I'm not thinking here but need something that I can scale and deploy to 5-6K domains at a bare minimum

i have cpvlab and p202 just in case but I think I need some kind of geo-script at DNS service level?

if you host them all on the same server a simple script in the apache cmd file can do the redirects....

It will effect the whole server.....maxmind has an apache version....i use it on one of my servers that way i can pull geo code on any domain on my server no matter what the ip is.....

you just have to deploy that script and reboot apache.....

**edit*** i realized that didn't sound right....you will need a script written that will handle the redirects not just the maxmind apache mod

ya what I'm trying to do is segment per domain (traffic) and redirect to country specific co-regs... so if you have say 10 domains you might have 5 co-regs per domain per country it would be impossible withe a simple script to handle..

i'm primarily dealing w/US, UK and Canada traffic....

:/ will keep digging thanks for suggestion

Oh ye of little faith......lol

why make something harder than it needs to be.....

my apache cmd file for a cloaker i had set up redirected based off of 15,000 ips....

with hardly any performance loss........

just sayin'
