Summary: GEOIP to deny access to port forward or dmz

Initial Comment:
not sure if this is possible, but it would be nice to
deny geographical regions access to your DMZ or an
incoming port rule based of the source IP that matches
the geographical location. 

An example would be only allowing local IP source
addresses access to your http server if you know that
only clients / friends in your geographical location
should have access to the http server.

Identifying the location is called GEOIP (Geography
Over IP), and may help to limit attempted hacks if
combined with access rules
