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.
