Hi everybody, With help from PowerDNS ueber value community member Aki Tuomi, the GeoIP backend in PowerDNS has been extended to use the netmask information contained in the Maxmind geolocation database.
We needed this because we couldn't find a lot of domains out there that actually respond with differing scope lengths to EDNS client subnet queries. And we needed testing domains because we're nearly done adding EDNS client subnet to PowerDNS Recursor 4.0 (authoritative has had it for years). To test, try: $ dig -t txt www.geo.powerdns.com www.geo.powerdns.com. 30 IN TXT "hallo Nederland 86.82.68.237/12" And for IPv6: www.geo.powerdns.com. 29 IN TXT "hallo Nederland 2001:888:2000:1d::/30" It will send back information that differs per continent, and it knows about some countries specifically (like The Netherlands), but not others: www.geo.powerdns.com. IN CNAME 30 jpn.as.service.geo.powerdns.com. jpn.as.service.geo.powerdns.com. IN TXT 30 "hello asia 106.177.158.0/13 jpn" The YAML behind this service can be found on http://pastebin.com/zbpznMa2 We'll keep this service running for now, but it might drop out from time to time. But for now, if you need to test, www.geo.powerdns.com TXT is there for you.
