Howto set geoip_country for IPv4 and IPv6 databases?

[Bruno Prémont]

Hi,

It should be sufficient to just list the IPv6 database (which includes
the IPv4 database as mapped addresses) tough 1.2.x branch needs
attached patch.

I don't know if Maxim has already applied it or a variant of it to
1.3.x branch.


Also search the archives for GeoIP and IPv6 support, there were a few
posts about it.


Attached patch was initially posted in
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2011-June/000971.html
(though I've updated it for 1.2.2).

Regards,
Bruno
