Module: mod_geoip

.. contents:: Table of Contents
Requirements
============
:Packages: GeoIP C API & Library (http://www.maxmind.com/download/geoip/api/c/) (see Download section)
Overview
========
mod_geoip is a module for fast ip/location lookups. It uses MaxMind GeoIP / GeoCity databases.
If the ip was found in the database the module sets the appropriate environments variables to the request, thus making other modules/fcgi be informed.
.. note::
Currently only country/city databases are supported because they have a free version that i can test.
