Block a City from accessing my Website

    Hello

    I understand it is possible to block a country from viewing my website using apache, .htaccess.

    I was wondering if it is possible to block everyone from a specific City (namely the city of Flower Mound, in Texas) from accessing my website.

    If that's a no-go, how about blocking all of Texas?

    There are GeoIP systems that try to retrieve cities and states for an IP address, like this one:
    http://www.hostip.info/

    The data they retrieve isn't 100% correct though.

    It should be possible to make a Perl script or so that does such a lookup, and then hook that into Apache.
