    if the visitor IP resolves to Denmark

    That’s where the trouble starts. IPs don’t resolve to any jurisdiction.

    There are services that will guess your location based on the IP. That works fairly well in Europe because people have done the detective work to figure out where in the world the servers using certain IPs are physically located. Kinda funny.

      As you said the guess work is mostly already done in Denmark so those services would do the trick.

      I wonder how much of a headache it would be for LIRs to ensure no /24 is used in more than one country at the same time.
      I imagine their services are already geographically separated for contractual/billing reasons.
