[AusNOG] google location services - question.

[Scott Howard]

Google do geo-location based on both DNS and actual end-user IP, with the
latter normally playing the major part.

Presuming you're in Australia, configure your system to use a US DNS
server, and you'll still find yourself being redirected to www.google.com.au
.
