Wanted to get feedback on GeoIP DB activation.  Here is what is in the
current modsecurity_crs_10_setup.conf file -

#
# -- [[ GeoIP Database ]]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
#
# There are some rulesets that need to inspect the GEO data of the
REMOTE_ADDR data.
#
# You must first download the MaxMind GeoIP Lite City DB -
#
#
http://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCity.dat.gz
#
# You then need to define the proper path for the SecGeoLookupDb directive
#
# Ref:

ation-data.html
#

SecGeoLookupDb /usr/local/apache/conf/modsec/GeoLiteCity.dat

The rationale for this directive is that we will be added rules that need
to inspect the GEO collection data to identify potential fraud, raise risk
scores and provide GeoIP data within generated alerts.  Does anyone have
any issues with the SecGeoLookupDd directive to be activated by default or
should this be commented out and the user can activate it if they want to
use GeoIP data?
