are sure mean ip , not country/region? not same thing. furthermore, component describe have dynamic ip address ranges/allocation change - depending on how accurate need be, wont matter much.

there free ip country database may help.

note: components/programs smf example, corrupt value of reported ip address overwriting feels 'best ip use'. instance, when connect site, connection may send several ip addresses, different variables in header, ie. if using caching or anonymising proxy (or visitors are)
granted, it's not common, i've had people supply fraudulent x_forwarded_for header impersonate user
the solution there tail log file see who's out , about

have given thought maintenance tangle may when have overlapping ip ranges 1 range demanding exclusion , other, inclusion?


anyway..

see post (hide content logged in/logged out users)
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg570025

then, see link
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.checkdnsrr.php

maybe usefull, blacklist (dnsbl) check function:
for purposes, blacklist 'include list'
function is_blacklisted($ip) {
  $dnsbl_check=array("bl.spamcop.net",
                      "relays.osirusoft.com",
                      "list.dsbl.org",
                      "sbl.spamhaus.org");
  if ($ip) {
      $quads=explode(".",$ip);
      $rip=$quads[3].".".$quads[2].".".$quads[1].".".$quads[0];
      ($i=0; $i          if (checkdnsrr($rip.".".$dnsbl_check[$i],"a")) {
              $listed.=$dnsbl_check[$i]." ";
          }
        }
      if ($listed) { return $listed; } else { return false; }
  }
}
?>
