Description:
------------
I use OVH as provider, OVH is a French ISP since 2010 and RIPE gave them a new IP range 109.190.0.0/16 which was used by a Russian operator before.

They did the job few months ago in order to clean this range of IP and make it declared in France.

But it seems that your database is not up to date, even if the geo-localization of these IP is good: https://apps.db.ripe.net/search/query.html

So it seems that PHP.net geolocation database needs some update.

Test script:
---------------
$ curl -I php.net/substr

Expected result:
----------------
Being redirected to fr.php.net

Actual result:
--------------

The ip2country database we are using seems to be updating just fine, so I guess 
this information simply isn't available in our providers 
database(www.directi.com).

There is very little we can do about that..
You can still "select your preferred mirror" on http://php.net/my.php to work 
around this

OK I've contacted Directi to ask them to update their database, thanks.

Directi is not answering my emails and it seems that their database is really out of date (last update 14 december 2010!), maybe that's time to use another database?

Is that still an issue after rolling out GeoDNS?
 [2015-08-06 17:27 UTC] bjori@php.net 
We still use DirectI for redirecting in certain cases -- it however would be interesting to know what results you get from:

$ dig +short www.php.net

We might have more pull with EasyDNS then with DirectI to get these sort of issues fixed.
