Hi Randy, I've not used the docker images or "geoip-directory", but the error message you found sounds like support for this is a compile time option that was not enabled. Perhaps check your configuration. Does it contain "geoip-directory"? Do you need this support? If not, I suggest disabling the configuration directive. You may be using it in an access control list, so check your configuration for that too. See here: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9.20.10/reference.html#namedconf-statement-geoip-directory and here: https://bind9.readthedocs.io/en/v9.20.10/chapter7.html#access-control-lists
