Claim 5:
6. An apparatus for delivering geofence information, comprising:
at least one device including a processor and a memory, wherein the at least one device is constructed and configured for network communication with at least one server computer including at least one geofence database;
wherein the at least one geofence database includes data for Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and anchor IP addresses for geofences;
