overridding incorrect MAXMIND data

[ehoward]

Will, the MAXMIND app is incorrectly identifying an IP address in Centreville, Va as being in Miami, Fl. What is the best way to correct this error? Do you recommend editing geoip.py or is there someway to edit GeoLiteCity.dat to correct the bad data?

GeoLiteCity.dat is a binary file. You could read through MAXMIND/bin/init.py and figure out how to write it out, change it, and then write it back. But, depending on what you're doing, you may also be able to override the results from it with another lookup command as well that references your own csv file with the relevant data.
