Playing with Comwired

Comwired is a DNS new service that allows you redirect your visitor based on their place of origin.

I’ve setup a free account, and am playing with it …. what I’m finding is really cool.

What I’m doing now is using the dynamic portion of the DNS to send visitors from different locations to different hostnames on my server …. which, in turn, redirects to different parts of my website (or you could send them to an entirely different website ….).

The advantage? Visitors from across the pond get localized content.

I’m still playing with this, but the concept is cool, and right now I can already drill down to the city level.

A website accessible _only_ from within Louisville, anyone?

Now, what I need to find is a city->timezone conversion map, so I can get accurate timing stats, too.

Any ideas?
