Here the issue:

I am seeing fully qualified domain names with parts I don't recognize.
Not that these are wrong but just unfamilar. It would be useful to
have access to a server of some kind that would map fragements of a
domain name into an geographical location by political subdivision.
This might be a useful extension to the current domain names system.
Any thoughts??
