Server Side Scripting / Coding: Server-side redirection depending on the users IP address/location
Bottom of Page1 to 4 of 4

What's the best way to redirect visitors to different servers, depending on their location? Can it be done via IIS?
I'm assuming this would be better than having it on the index page of a site itself?
Basically I've got a server in the UK, and a mirror of it in Asia, and want to redirect people to the closest version of the site!
A few possible solutions I've found so far, neither of which seem to be server-side:

2. http://georedirect.com/ -

I haven't a clue whether or not this is the most practical way to go, but I used an ip-to-country.csv file and compared that to the user's IP, which in turn was returned by a php function.
It works pretty well when I need to automatically set the language settings to German, Finnish or English, depending on where the user is coming from.
I could email a .zip for you, if you'd like. At the very least you can decide if that's the way to go or not. -
