The ip2country is the best option but is too much work and you have to keep your database up to scratch all the time.

Having some links to different domains based on the country or tlc you have i found it simpler and to the point. As I said redirection is not good for the search engines unless you give a 302 header, then if the content is the same on everyone of them - they don't like that either.

Those links can be in small font at the top of the page or footer.

Have a look at Amazon. They do that, and beleive they do have the power to create a script to do it automatically, but they don't.

Question is WHY?

Answer: Search engines and you can never be 100% sure they are from ireland, so if you keep sending them to UK site, you lost a customer.

How many pies have you got those fingers in?

Care to disclose the site address so I can have a peek at what you are doing?

Maxmind updates automatically via a cronjob, so that's a non-issue

That would work in some circumstances, but not in the situation I'm thinking of. Besides I can't register a .ca domain due to the restrictions.

They're also the market leader in that field. Dell and a lot of others do it and for good reason.
There wouldn't be much point in serving up English language content to visitors from France, for example.

Amazon have also implemented geoip recently with the great big banner asking you if you want to go to the UK site, which happens to be served from Dublin

Enough to get DVDs, books and music, but not huge amounts. I make more from other sources on a per period basis, but I like that I can spend the amazon earnings at Amazon - sort of like free money / free DVDs
