To everyone who wants to associate suburbs with region (no matter the accuracy) do the following;

1) Import the V1 version of the postcode database
2) Import the V2 version of the postcode database
3) Add a column to the suburbs table from the v2 database called regionid INT(11)
4) Run the following SQL (note I appended “location_” to the start of all my V2 tables, and renamed the V1 table postcodes_v1):

UPDATE location_suburbs, location_regions, postcodes_v1 SET location_suburbs.regionid = location_regions.regionid WHERE location_suburbs.suburb = postcodes_v1.suburb AND postcodes_v1.region = location_regions.regionid

Hope this helps… all I’m looking for is a nice way to let people who register on a site pick a region and suburb!

Are the results from http://www.akamai.com/html/technology/products/personalization.html consistent with your problem?

Thanks- you now need to look for Intel 82567, in their list on the left of that page, under network/ethernet controllers.
Good work — very helpful

I agree, until this is sorted you aren’t necessarily better going onto a CDN.

I tried Google Public DNS and its fast
My report shows almost 50% less latency but when I changed name server for one of domain
it took time to reflect that changes on my local PC and as soon as I changed it to Open DNS
I can see name server change

I thought that geotargeting was based on the correlation of netblocks with countries?

Hi, we are looking for a system to identify the general area of the country the post code is from and calculate the distance between NZ post codes. Will your info do this or can you suggest where we might be able to get this?

It contains every region, but unfortunately I haven’t been able to list the regions in the database as regions change depending on what source you look at.

It’s on the list of things to do.

This is just what I was hoping NZPost would provide when they introduced the new system. Since then I have been putting off the evil day when I would have to do it myself.
My interest is I’ve set up databases for a number of not-for-profit groups to which I belong, with a button to look up the Postal code and insert it after they have typed in the address of a member.
To use this data in the same way, would I need to pay and to whom and what about NZ Post copyright. I don’t want any suprises down the track. So I’m asking before starting what will still be quite a lot of work
