[Catalyst] Thoughts On GeoIP Modules?

[Mesdaq, Ali]

I have used it pretty heavily in the past and been happy with it. I am not sure if the geo-location stuff in the way you want to use it will be successful however since I have not used it for those purposes. So the problem your experiencing is what exactly? Automated signups or manual signups that get abused in other ways?

We have several signup web sites using Catalyst.  Recently we have realized we 
are going to have to limit signups by geographical region to help limit abuse. 
Captchas (we use and love reCaptcha) and other heuristics just do not seem to be 
sufficient.

Does anyone on the list have any experience with open source options in the way 
of GeoIP modules?  We are looking at MaxMind GeoIP 
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/geoip/) at the moment.

Any prior experiences from this group with any product out there would be welcome.

We will be happy to report our success (or lack of) back to the group as soon as 
we know something.

Thank you,
