IP Geocoder
Get physical locations for I.P. Addresses contained in multiple files
We had an issue on an IIS Server where we needed to isolate an IP address to a certain location as requested by the police. The problem was there was masses of log files and to manually go through them would have taken too long. So we built this small application to run through the log files over a week to get all IP addresses and put them in location folders. You can also add IP addresses to ignore by putting them in the Ignore List, in a comma delimited string of text.

Remember that the more sort routines you give it, the longer it will take.
