I'm not sure if there is any official cooperation going on, but I'm
currently enhancing my web crawler (http://funnelweb.net.au) to include
support for this type of operation. Basically, here's what I'm planning:
The current web crawler, based in Australia, limits it's searching and
collection to countries in the South Pacific. I'm planning to enhance
this such that any URL's found (during the crawling process) for non-South
Pacific countries will be forwarded to the web crawler responsible for
that domain (as determined by a simple config file - maybe an automated
registration process in the future). Similarly, the search engine will
allow ANY individual country(s) to be searched (as is the case now for
only South Pacific countries), and will fork the request off to the
appropriate engine.
Is this the type of info you were after?
