Just to let you know whats happening on this and it hasnt been ignored.
Thanks for the comments rizla
I have found a way to pull in the AS number - but tying up that up with the ISP needs a heck of a lot more work.
Those databases are huge so the first step is pulling out all the GB ones. It will then be a matter of compiling a cross ref - in a similar way to which I already have with the netname -> ISP.
Although some things look immediately obvious to the human eye - computers wont tie something up unless its an exact match. :/
lol know I know why the likes of TBB rely on the ISPs to inform them of their ranges.
All this stuff is backend - so wont make any difference to the front end stuff. Everything is modularised so if I am able to do it differently then its simply a case of replacing one section.
Bear in mind that I haven't been programming in php that long and therefore Im hoping that I can discuss some of the options this w/e with chris if he has a bit of free time.. to see what can be done
So comments etc are still appreciated on the user side of things etc - whilst I see if the backend stuff can be changed.
