Thanks. We'll see to submitting corrections after we've gotten the

Just for fun, you can try enter both the ipv4 and ipv6 addresses of 
ftp.acc.umu.se on https://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip-demo - you'll find 
that they give different locations and ISP/Organization info.

Oh well, at least they get the country right which is what matters 
most.
