can someone explain, why the two packages
- GeoIP
- geoipupdate
are needed when installing the bind-utils package?
The bind-utils package requires 'libGeoIP.so.1()(64bit)', which is
provided by the GeoIP package. The GeoIP package requires
'geoipupdate', which is provided by the geoipupdate package.
% rpm -q --requires bind-utils|grep GeoIP
libGeoIP.so.1()(64bit)
% rpm -q --requires GeoIP | grep geoipupdate
geoipupdate
GeoIP provides a C library and a lookup tool to look up countries from
an IP address. The bind-utils executables are all linked against
libGeoIP.so.1, so I assume they use some functionality from that
library.
/usr/bin/geoipupdate is a tool to update the data files in the GeoIP
package.
Yes, then the interesting question, how can I make use of these
GeoIP-features when
doing these e.g.
nslookup 200:470:17:55::1
nslookup 222.10.10.1
nslookup www.centos.org
host www.centos.org
Thanks,
Walter
