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
Looking at the source, it looks like the geoip-related functions are
only called in the 'named' code and the libdns library.  I don't see
any features in dig, host or nslookup for looking up countries based
on IP.  However, the GeoIP package has a 'geoiplookup' command that
looks up a country from an IP.

wouldn't it be a good idea to split this, so that 'bind-utils' has no dependency of neither GeoIP nor geoipupdate,
like it is in CentOS 6?

(on systems where the bind-utils are used, mostly no GeoIP is used - DNS vs. Web)

Thanks,

Walter
