Hi Mukund This is the paid version of the DB, tailing that file states GEO-106 20140624 Build 1 Copyright (c) 2014 MaxMind Inc All Rights Reserved
As said it does work with the geoiplookup tool. seLinux is disabled and permissions for files are default on a fresh system..see below for GeoIP dir under /usr/share drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jul 1 10:11 GeoIP BUT !!!! You sent me the right direction, I am chrooting my named server, so naturally the location bind is looking is /var/named/chroot/usr/share/GeoIP not /usr/share/GeoIP So putting the GeoIP.dat file there actually worked !! Now I only have to edit the cronjob to copy the updated GeoIP.dat file to the chroot when Maxmind updates. Thanks !
