Free users should create symlinks for the GeoIP databases. For example:
cd /usr/local/share/GeoIP
ln -s GeoLiteCity.dat GeoIPCity.dat
ln -s GeoLiteCountry.dat GeoIPCountry.dat
ln -s GeoLiteASNum.dat GeoIPASNum.dat
The lookup functions are thread safe.
As of version 1.3.6, the GeoIP C library is thread safe, as long as
GEOIP_CHECK_CACHE is not used.
The GeoIP Region database is no longer a pointer but an in-structure array so
test the first byte of region == 0 rather than testing if the region pointer
is NULL.
As of GeoIP 1.1.0 the GeoIP_country_xxx_by_xxx functions return NULL if a
country can not be found. It previously returned -- or N/A. To avoid
segmentation faults, check the return value for NULL.
