I added some more details to the ticket. I'm also adding a Reply-To header on this mail for the pool-dev list. :-) >> I don't know of any IPv6 -> geo databases.

Weird, maybe I need to upgrade my GeoIP tools then, because I have never had any luck looking up an IPv6 address: $ geoiplookup6 2001:4860:4001:803::1013 $ etc. Good point about the lookups mostly being on IPv4, so having the servers registered appropriately will help. - ask _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
