Hello GeoIP users,

We are aware that Maxmind is discontinuing their older free GeoLite location 
database and replacing it with a new database with a new format (GeoLite2). 
https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/

We have an issue open in the BIND gitlab to update our Geo-IP support to use 
the new database api.  https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/issues/182 
<https://gitlab.isc.org/isc-projects/bind9/issues/182>

The question is, would it be useful if we included the GeoLite2 database with 
the BIND distribution? Since we update at least twice a year, we could keep it 
fairly well up to date, and it would save users having to go get and update the 
db themselves. It would add about 1.5MB to the BIND distribution (depending on 
whether we use the country or city level).

Votes, comments welcome. 

Thank you,

Vicky
