New netblock Geolocate wrong (Google)

Mon Jan 18 22:27:30 UTC 2010

I just lit up a new IP netblock (assigned directly from ARIN) and the companies that provide Geolocate databases do not have the correct location information available yet.

Specifically Maxmind (http://www.maxmind.com/) thinks we are in Canada and IP2LOCATION (http://www.ip2location.com/) has no data.

For the most part this is benign or at worst slightly impacting since I often get redirected to global load balance nodes up in Canada instead of locally in the North West, however, the more major issue I am running into is that Google chooses to redirect all my users to www.google.ca<http://www.google.ca>.

So my questions to others are:

1.       How do I get my data updated in all of the geolocate providers databases as quickly as possible?

2.       What geolocate database does Google use (is it homegrown?) and how do I get them to update my data?

Thanks.

-Eric
